The vagina is an internal reproductive organ and is the only way for the uterus to communicate with the outside world. It is also a sexual intercourse organ, a channel for the discharge of menstrual blood and the delivery of the fetus. Its anterior wall is adjacent to the bladder and urethra, and its posterior wall is adjacent to the rectum. The vagina is a tubular structure about 10 to 12 centimeters long, but the front and back walls are usually close to each other. Because the vaginal wall is rich in wrinkles and elastic fibers, it has strong stretchability. Therefore, under normal circumstances, if there are no pelvic abnormalities, a full-term fetus can be delivered successfully vaginally. The size of the pelvic diameter is partly estimated by vaginal examination. Pregnant women should have an intravaginal pelvic measurement done at an appropriate time during their prenatal check-up to determine whether vaginal delivery is possible and to make early preparations. Some people have vaginal septum, which hinders vaginal delivery to varying degrees. The problem can be solved by simple surgical severing.
The vaginal wall is very rich in blood vessels, and it is easy to bleed or form hematoma when injured. Trauma, childbirth, and even rough sexual intercourse, especially for newly married or postmenopausal women, may cause vaginal damage, which requires timely sutures and hemostasis.
Under normal circumstances, the vagina has self-cleaning ability, that is, the lactobacilli present in the vagina act on the vaginal epithelial cells to decompose glycogen into lactic acid, so the vagina can Maintain an acidic environment and inhibit the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. In young girls and postmenopausal women, due to low ovarian function or decline, the vaginal mucosal epithelium is thin and the vaginal self-cleaning ability is low. Therefore, it is prone to injury and infection. Clinically, postmenopausal women often see recurrent vaginitis, and this is the reason. Some women often clean their vaginas themselves and think that vaginal discharge, that is, leucorrhea, is something unclean. This approach and understanding is wrong. Frequent cleaning of the vagina, whether with water or any detergent, will weaken the vagina\’s self-cleaning ability and easily lead to infection. Therefore, unless you suffer from vaginitis, generally only vulva cleaning is done.
Vagitis is the most common type of inflammation of female reproductive organs. It comes in many varieties. According to age, there are vaginitis in young women, senile and childbearing years. According to the source of microorganisms, there are trichomonas, fungi, general bacteria and viruses. Sexual contact is one of the ways of infection and spread. Therefore, sexual disorder is an important reason for the widespread and rapid spread of this type of disease and the increasing incidence rate. There are also cases without sexual contact, which are caused by a decrease in local resistance or not paying attention to hygiene. Once vulvar itching or pain occurs, or is accompanied by increased, yellowish, smelly or other abnormalities such as leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately. Do not be embarrassed and shy to see a doctor. With correct diagnosis and timely treatment, can be cured. But if you don\’t pay attention to prevention, it will happen again and again. During the onset of the disease, sexual intercourse should be prohibited, underwear and bedding should be changed and disinfected frequently, and it is best to dry them under the sun. Individuals should have special tools for cleaning the vulva to avoid mutual infection.
