Treatment of chronic vaginitis - only under medical supervision

Chronic vaginitis is often a consequence of a number of reasons that you want to identify and remove, only then the treatment will be effective. If any reason will not eliminated, relapses of the disease will come back again and again, and the infection will capture all the new "territory".

How to examine a woman with suspected chronic vaginitis

If you suspect a chronic vaginitis in women taking swabs from the vagina, cervix and the urethra (the urethra). Having a high number of leucocytes smears indicates the presence of inflammation. At the same time make the crop discharge from the genital tract in the nutrient media - the pathogen is detected (or more pathogens) infection and its sensitivity to various drugs.

If necessary, the PCR diagnosis (detected DNA pathogen) and immunological (eg ELISA) studies detect antibodies to infectious agents. Based on the EIA may conclude that the duration of the disease.

Held ultrasound of the pelvic organs, and, if necessary, is diagnostic hysteroscopy Hysteroscopy - examination of the uterus inside   - Endoscopic examination of the uterus using a special optical equipment. Hysteroscopy allows to consider in detail the state of the mucous membrane of the uterus and, if necessary, to carry out some medical manipulations.

No less attention is paid to identifying the reasons that support the long flowing inflammatory process. A study of blood hormones, identification of all chronic diseases, the study of the state of immunity.

Treatment of chronic specific vaginitis

Adequate treatment of chronic vaginitis is possible only on the basis of a comprehensive survey of women. Specific vaginitis (they are the agents of one or more microorganisms, sexually transmitted diseases) are treated by the appointment of antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiprotozoal drugs - depending on the detected infection and its sensitivity to various drugs. It is very difficult, as the agents of these infections have learned to perfectly "hide" and adapt their livelihoods to the overwhelming medicines.

For example, gonorrhea, chlamydia Chlamydia: insidious and widespread disease , Mycoplasma, ureaplasma are often "hidden" inside the Trichomonas and therefore can not be immediately destroyed. To conduct this first treatment of trichomoniasis, and then antibacterial treatment. But this is not always effective - pathogens quickly get used to antibiotics.

In this case, help provocation - "shaking" of the body by a variety of drugs, that lead to the activation of lurking pathogens and exacerbation of chronic process. A worsening is always easier to treat than remission.

After the treatment is required to carry out laboratory control of cure, genital infections when it is carried out for e few menstrual cycles.

Always after antibiotic treatment prescribed drugs, contributing to the restoration of vaginal microflora. Such formulations generally contain lactobacilli example laktonorm.

Treatment of chronic nonspecific vaginitis

Chronic nonspecific vaginitis pathogens are representatives of conditionally pathogenic microflora, which constantly lives on the genitals of women. To this microflora caused by the disease, additional conditions - hormonal disorders or reduced immunity. Therefore, if the examination reveals the pathogen (or more pathogens) infections belonging to the pathogenic microflora, be sure to check the blood for hormones and immune status and, if necessary, their correction is carried out.

Medications for systemic effects of chronic nonspecific vaginitis are not always used - basically use a combination of drugs with local action, since such vaginitis generally have a mixed (bacterial and fungal) character. Well suited for this purpose vaginal tablets terzhinan Terzhinan - accessible and efficient , Which include several antimicrobials, as well as antifungal and anti-inflammatory agents.

After the treatment is carried out laboratory control and the restoration of normal vaginal flora The microflora of the vagina: purity   using probiotics (e.g. laktonorma).

Treatment of chronic vaginitis - a lengthy process that requires the strict implementation of all female doctor's appointments.

Stages of syphilis

Syphilis - a highly contagious disease transmitted mainly through sexual contact, including anal and oral sex. Sometimes it can be transmitted through kissing and other close physical contact. Although syphilis is transmitted from the characteristic sores on the skin, they often do not pay attention; a carrier of the disease itself can not be aware of their condition and, consequently, that it endangers the health of their loved ones.

A pregnant woman with syphilis can infect her baby. Congenital syphilis is associated with a high risk of dangerous abnormalities in the baby, and even death.

Syphilis is not spread by toilet seats, door knobs, bath, water (eg, pool), clothes and utensils.

Until about the end of the first half of the 20th century, syphilis was a serious threat to public health. In the absence of effective means of protection against the disease and its treatment, as well as lack of awareness, syphilis frequently led to problems such as arthritis Arthritis - a variety of forms and complications , Brain damage and blindness. After the invention of penicillin, the situation has improved.

How to recognize syphilis

There are the basic stages of syphilis.

• Early, or primary syphilis. At this stage, the infected person has, in most cases, a plague - chancroid. He looks like a large round trail from an insect bite or a wart; often it is hard and painless. The chancre appears on the genitals and / or around the mouth (depending on how people infected with syphilis) for 10-90 days after infection - on average it takes three weeks. Even without treatment, the chancre disappears within six weeks, without leaving any scars.
• Secondary syphilis. This stage begins somewhere in the range from six weeks to six months after infection and lasts 1-3 months. The main symptom of secondary syphilis Secondary syphilis - can proceed unnoticed for several years   a pinkish rash, usually on the inner sides of the palms and soles of the feet. However, a rash may appear on other parts of the body; sometimes it resembles the symptoms of some other diseases. There may also appear moist warts in the groin, white patches in the mouth, and symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, fever and weight loss wanton. As with the primary syphilis, symptoms of secondary syphilis go away without treatment.
• Latent syphilis. At this stage, the disease is inactive i.e. does not cause any symptoms. It can last for months or even years.
• Tertiary syphilis. If the infection is still not cured, it goes into a stage, which is characterized by severe brain damage, heart and nervous system that can lead to paralysis, blindness, dementia, deafness, impotence Impotence - a female perspective on the problem   and then - to death.

Syphilis can be quickly diagnosed using a simple blood test.

Treatment

If the patient is infected with syphilis less than a year ago, a single dose of penicillin is sufficient to cope with the infection. Those who are allergic to penicillin, tetracycline prescribed Tetracycline - a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic   or doxycycline. In the later stages of the disease the dose of medication should be more.

Patients should refrain from sexual intercourse until the infection is not cured completely. The patient's sexual partner is strongly advised to undergo a medical examination.

If untreated, very high probability of complications, which have been listed above.

Syphilis in pregnant women

And depending on how long a pregnant infected with syphilis, it has a good chance of stillbirth or death of the child shortly after birth.

Symptoms of an infected child may appear a few weeks after birth, because at the slightest probability of syphilis (the presence of disease in the mother is a risk factor) luchenie should start immediately after birth. Otherwise, the child may be a delay in development or various physical defects.

Prevention of syphilis

To avoid infection with syphilis, can not have sex with infected people. If you are unsure that your partner is healthy, it is necessary to use a condom.
