Are there any differences in the treatment of these infections depending on the period of pregnancy? To treat infection it is necessary when, firstly, infections are identified that should not be in the body of a woman. And secondly, when the level of the opportunistic flora exceeds the permissible values.
What are the dysbiotic diseases?
Normally, the lining of the vagina is inhabited by lactobacilli living in a weakly acid medium (pH 4.5). However, as a result of the use of antibiotics, these bacteria die, and the environment becomes alkaline. By the way, douching with various infusions, which are also alkaline in their composition, contribute to the elution and death of the lactobacillus. As a result, the vaginal biocenosis is broken, that is, the natural aggregate of the microorganisms inhabiting it and the relationship between them.
Lactobacillus prevents the penetration of foreign microorganisms, protecting the body of a woman from an external infection. This is part of the immune system, which actively fights and protects the body.
Douching violates the body's natural defense. Meanwhile, they are a good alternative to expensive medicines that also violate this protection. How to be?
First of all, it is necessary to undergo a course of recovery of the vaginal microflora. In the meantime, we return to the causes of infection. Few people know that the use of daily pads and tampons contributes to draining the vagina and causes its dysbiosis. For the normal existence of the lactobacillus, the medium must be moist and slightly acidic. Dehumidification of the vaginal mucosa does not lead to anything good.
During pregnancy, for the normal course of implantation, growth and development of the embryo, it is necessary to create in the mother's endometrium a state of local immunosuppression, that is, suppression of one's own immunity. This is necessary to prevent the rejection of a semi-foreign fetus.
The child in fact inherits half from the mother and half from the pope. And the daddy's cells in the mother's body are foreign, therefore, in order to avoid miscarriage, the mother's body weakens the immune defense. In this case, the mother becomes more vulnerable to various infections. What can lead to different types of new diseases that will negatively affect the general condition of the whole organism of the future mother. The weakened and emaciated organism often fails. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen health.
Another cause of infection is abortion and curettage, after which the vaginal environment is disturbed "seriously and for a long time". In addition, influence:
- an increase in the number of diseases of internal organs that reduce the immunorefense of the organism,
- an increase in the number of gynecological diseases of inflammatory etiology,
- irrational use of antimicrobials,
- unreasonable treatment of non-existent diseases (incorrect interpretation of the results of laboratory studies),
- self-medication with various non-prescription drugs with antimicrobial effect.
There is a vicious circle: antibacterial treatment without restoring one's own microflora, creating an "empty space", settling more dangerous infections.
