Such infections are not presented as a serious situation, but there are times when treating them may be demanding.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A few words on colpitis<\/h3>\n<p>It is a vaginal inflammation of the sensitive women&#8217;s area, caused by microorgans that cause turbulence in the vagina flora. (Fungus, bacteria, viruses).<\/p>\n<p>It may appear:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the outer parts of the vagina (vulva)or<\/li>\n<li>innerly in the endometrium, inside the vagina or the cervix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When the natural flora of a woman&#8217;s vagina is distorted, pathogenic microorganisms start developing, changing the area&#8217;s pH. (Normally it should be pH\u22654.7). When the area&#8217;s pH is altered, symptoms appear. (It should be noted that in some rare cases, yeast infection develops but without any symptoms).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>WHAT ARE ITS CLEAR SYMPTOMS?<\/h3>\n<p>Symptoms change depending on the cause, with most typical being:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>pain during sexual intercourse<\/li>\n<li>vaginal dryness<\/li>\n<li>a sense of burning<\/li>\n<li>itchiness<\/li>\n<li>pain during urination<\/li>\n<li>irritation of the vulva<\/li>\n<li>vaginal secretions<\/li>\n<li>unobtrusive blood stains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>HOW DO I TREAT IT?<\/h3>\n<p>There is a variety in colpitis infection types, therefore we need to distinguish its origin before treating it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>FUNGAL VAGINITIS<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If there is a fungus, anti-fungus agents are prescribed through the mouth, as well as vaginal suppositories or ointments.<br \/>\nSupplementary, lactobacillus vaginal suppositories are prescribed, to assist in restoration of vaginal flora. More often than not, it is possible that the sexual partner also needs treatment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>BACTERIA VAGINITIS<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In bacteria vaginitis we usually have a multi-microbial infection.<br \/>\nTreatment involves antibiotic therapy through the mouth and vaginally, or using antibacteria vaginal ointment.<br \/>\nIn some cases, special gels to fight dryness and specific products to clean the sensitive area are also recommended.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>VAGINITIS PREVENTION<\/h3>\n<p>Prevention begins the moment we start taking proper care of the sensitive area.<\/p>\n<p>Which routine contributes to the proper care of the sensitive area?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cleaning one&#8217;s genitals daily with special products for a woman&#8217;s needs with the appropriate pH.(be especially cautious with the bacteria around the anus area).<\/li>\n<li>using condoms during sexual intercourse<\/li>\n<li>taking probiotic supplements through the mouth, especially when there is a fungus infection.<\/li>\n<li>preferably use cotton underwear and not synthetic.<\/li>\n<li>avoid tight clothes which may feel uncomfortably warm and humid around the sensitive area, especially in the summer months.<\/li>\n<li>always keep a second swimming suit when you go swimming in order to change and never let a wet swimming suit dry on your body.<\/li>\n<li>before you sit on the sand or on the sun bed, always use a towel.<\/li>\n<li>always maintain appropriate hygiene around the vaginal and anal area.<\/li>\n<li>avoid vaginal douche with antiseptics.<\/li>\n<li>avoid daily sanitary towel use<\/li>\n<li>avoid tampons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In case of any kind of infection, you should contact your gynecologist to make the proper diagnosis and receive specific advise for your own case.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>general check up (pap test-vaginal ultrasound)<\/li>\n<li>contraception<\/li>\n<li>menopause<\/li>\n<li>fertility check<\/li>\n<li>HPV -genital warts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;side-menu-column&#8221; woodmart_css_id=&#8221;61a8d3f6ba75f&#8221; mobile_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; tablet_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_gradient_switch=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_box_shadow=&#8221;no&#8221; wd_z_index=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_disable_overflow=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_mobile=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column_inner][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=&#8221;83&#8243; el_class=&#8221;side-menu&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; woodmart_css_id=&#8221;6198df4ec3790&#8243; mobile_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; tablet_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_gradient_switch=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_box_shadow=&#8221;no&#8221; wd_z_index=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_disable_overflow=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_mobile=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; el_class=&#8221;post-image-row&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text wd_animation=&#8221;slide-from-left&#8221; woodmart_inline=&#8221;no&#8221; text_larger=&#8221;no&#8221; el_class=&#8221;title-square&#8221;] It<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9680,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10493","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/drkoufomichail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/drkoufomichail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/drkoufomichail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drkoufomichail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drkoufomichail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/drkoufomichail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drkoufomichail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/drkoufomichail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drkoufomichail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drkoufomichail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
