nonspecific vaginitis (coleitis)

Nonspecific infections can occur as women of childbearing age and in old age. Young women cause of nonspecific vaginitis may be a common infectious disease, endocrine pathology, reduction of ovarian function, as well as the impact of local damaging factors.
In elderly and senile age of vaginal inflammation is a consequence of the loss of one of the major factors of defense - lactic acid from glycogen and thus create an optimal environment for the multiplication of lactic acid bacteria. As you already know, this process is controlled by female sex hormone estrogen, which are produced in the ovaries, which in old age is gradually declining.
Symptoms of vaginitis: patients complain of vaginal discharge, which can be abundant in the case of acute, moderate or poor in sub-acute or chronic disease. Nature of discharge may vary from serous to purulent. Often worried itching. When viewed from the vaginal mucosa bright red, edematous, sometimes the mucous membrane can be seen small hemorrhages, purulent - serous raids. Sometimes the allocation have an unpleasant odor. Such is the picture by looking at the vagina in the case of acute vaginitis.
In subacute and chronic diseases all the symptoms are less pronounced, less coloration of the mucous would be less bright, the allocation will be fewer and fewer have purulent impurity.
Diagnosis of nonspecific vaginitis was based on smear and bacteriological methods of investigation, as follows: microscopy smears from the vagina made on glass and stained with a special way. Normally, the number of leukocytes in the field of view should not exceed 20-25, and at coleitis their number was considerably increased, in addition, the smear may attend different micro flora, different from normal, which is also a diagnostic feature. It is also used bacteriological method in which the material collected during the inspection test, placed on a nutrient medium, which in a few days grows a certain type of parasite.
According to the data assigned medication.
Treatment of vaginitis: generally used broad-spectrum antibiotics, drugs, normalizing the vaginal environment, both local and for internal use, as well as local antibacterials in the form of vaginal suppositories.
Often you can do without prescribing antibiotics, using, for example, methods of treatment of acute nonspecific colpitis proposed VM Lapin and A. Ozols in 1990. This vagina is washed with an aqueous solution of an antiseptic (eg chlorhexidine), which destroys 99% of the vaginal flora. Immediately thereafter, introduced into the vagina swab soaked in a mixture of lactobacilli in 8 - 10 hours. Such treatment of vaginal spend 7 -10 days. Can be used for this purpose with vaginal suppositories bifidobakterinom, atsilakt etc.
Effectively the simultaneous application of biological products inside such as linneks, baktisubtil, bifidobakterin, Bifiform, as well as various biological supplements containing bifidobacteria and laktofloru.
In the case of treatment of senile vaginitis, along with the above, use estrogensoderzhaschie ointment candles.
