Why start a nonspecific vaginitis

Non-specific vaginitis caused primarily pathogenic microflora is constantly dwelling on the walls of the vagina. These are some types of staphylococcus, streptococcus, E. coli, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, yeast fungi genus Candida, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, and others.

The vagina of healthy women of reproductive (reproductive) age has the ability to cleanse itself. This happens due to the fact that the normal vaginal flora The microflora of the vagina: purity  The microflora of the vagina: purity
   suppresses livelihoods opportunistic, creating uncomfortable conditions for it. The composition of normal microflora include various microorganisms, but the bulk of its mass is laktobatslly that produce lactic acid - that acidity helps cleanse the vagina.

Vital functions of normal microflora is supported by the female hormones estrogen. Therefore, nonspecific vaginitis developed primarily for women with hormonal disorders Hormonal disorders - oversupply and a lack of equally dangerous  Hormonal disorders - oversupply and a lack of equally dangerous
   or immunocompromised. Immunity disorders may occur when colds, against various common diseases (especially endocrine), intoxication, trauma, excessive physical and emotional stress, heavy stress, and so on.

Most nonspecific vulvovaginitis (inflammation of the vagina and vulva) occur in girls and older women, deprived of hormonal support. In children, the cause of vulvovaginal Vulvovaginitis - a disease of children and the elderly  Vulvovaginitis - a disease of children and the elderly
   It may be getting an infection through the blood of its permanent foci (nasopharynx, upper respiratory tract, and so on).

Finally, nonspecific vaginitis may develop non-compliance with the rules of personal and sexual hygiene. In this case, the infectious agents can enter the vagina from the gastrointestinal tract or of the lower urinary tract.

Diagnostics

Diagnosis begins with a medical examination and questioning of the sick woman. Then take laboratory tests - a swab from the vagina, cervix and the urethra (identifies the severity of inflammation), crop nutrient discharge to the environment in order to identify the infectious agent and its sensitivity to various drugs.

Help clarify the diagnosis and colposcopy Colposcopy - how to prepare it properly?  Colposcopy - how to prepare it properly?
   - Research with a special optical equipment, which allows to consider in detail all the changes in the vaginal mucosa.

Identified as associated diseases and foci of infection - they are important to promptly treat. Treating nonspecific vaginitis is conducted only after a full examination.

Causes of perianal genital warts

Perianal warts caused by types 6 and 11 of human papillomavirus (HPV). These same types of HPV cause genital warts in the genital area.

Infection occurs during sexual intercourse. It may be normal heterosexual contact and then genital warts first appear on the genitals, and then move on to the anal area. When homosexual sexual intercourse genital warts in the genital area may not be, in any case, if they appear, later than in the anus.

Once on the surface of epithelial HPV is introduced into the cells of the deep layers of it and there is a long time does not manifest itself. During this time, the inner cell aging and gradually move closer to the surface. When they reach the surface and peel, HPV comes to the surface and can cause disease.

Of great importance in this disease has a status of immunity - HPV exhibit aggressive and cause disease mainly in patients with reduced immunity Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults  Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults
 . Therefore, be sure to examine these patients for HIV.

Sometimes genital warts fuse together and grow to gigantic proportions (Buschke-Lowenstein tumor). The peculiarity of these warts is that they almost always infected, penetrated by fistulas through which foci of inflammation derived malodorous discharge serous or purulent character.

If necessary, the PCR diagnostics (investigated tissue scrapings from genital warts) in order to identify the DNA of the infectious agent.

There are also instrumental studies, including endoscopy: using sigmoidoscopy doctor carefully inspects the inner surface of the anal canal - in this area are also common warts.
