Vaginitis is the most common inflammation in women, but many people do not know much about it. Let's play a little game to deepen our understanding of it. Please choose your answers according to the prompts.
According to surveys, 75% of women will suffer from candida vaginitis at least once in their lifetime. Women with vaginitis usually feel external genital itching, burning pain, thick vaginal discharge that appears like curd or tofu residue.
With such a high incidence rate, whose fault is it? The reason is actually very simple: the pH value of a woman's vagina is generally within the range of 3.8-4.4, which is a slightly acidic environment. Also, because the inside of the vagina is warm and damp, this creates an environment suitable for the growth of fungi. Of course, vaginitis can be prevented if you cultivate the right living habits.

If more than three of your answers are "yes", then there is no doubt that you have entered the red zone of "possible vaginitis". Now let's take a look and see whose fault it is.
First Mistake:
Misuse of antibiotics
Broad-spectrum antibiotics kill pathogenic bacteria while also inhibiting some beneficial bacteria, and the bacteria that are not inhibited and resistant bacteria will multiply profusely, including fungi. This way, we are extremely prone to "candidiasis." Therefore, remember to use antibiotics with utmost caution.
Second Mistake:
Body shaping leading to problems
Many office ladies (OLs) seek all sorts of ways to shape and slim their bodies for an attractive figure, among which many prefer using body-shaping undergarments. When purchasing tight-fitting underwear, never buy cheap synthetic tight-fitting underwear just to save money, because it can increase the temperature and humidity around the vagina, creating a warm and humid environment that serves as a cozy nest for the growth of fungi!
