What are the symptoms of non-gonococcal vaginitis?

There are many kinds of female vaginal diseases, the more common ones include bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, etc. I believe that you must have rarely heard of non-gonococcal vaginitis. Non-gonococcal vaginitis is different from ordinary vaginitis. It is more difficult to detect and generally has no obvious symptoms. There is only slight discomfort when urinating. Let me tell you about the symptoms of non-gonococcal vaginitis.

Non-gonococcal vaginitis (abbreviated as non-gonococcal vaginitis) is mainly manifested as cervicitis and genital tract inflammation. When urethritis occurs, there may be mild pain when urinating and a small amount of secretions, sometimes with a fishy smell, and the patient thinks that the amount of vaginal discharge has increased. If the infection site is mainly in the cervix, it will manifest as inflammation, erosion, and increased leucorrhea. Usually only the examination of cervical secretions can provide some clinical clues, and the diagnosis can be confirmed when the chlamydia and mycoplasma culture and serum immunofluorescence antigen test are positive. Leucorrhea caused by Candida albicans is watery or purulent, and contains white curd-like or bean dregs-like substances. Laboratory tests showing a positive result for Candida albicans can also confirm the diagnosis.

Patients with non-gonococcal disease must pay attention to early diagnosis and early treatment; treatment should be carried out in a regular hospital, and should be treated at the same time as the sexual partner, and should not be abandoned halfway. During the treatment, you should pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and refrain from sexual intercourse. Avoid eating irritating foods. Clothes and utensils should be washed and disinfected. The vulva should be cleaned every day with 1:5000-1:8000 potassium permanganate solution or Chlorhexidine.

There are many antibiotics that are effective in treating non-gonococcal urea. These drugs include tetracycline, doxycycline, azithromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin, erythromycin, etc.; streptomycin and spectinomycin are effective against mycoplasma infections but have little effect on chlamydia infections; vancomycin is basically ineffective against chlamydia, so it is not used. Many people are resistant to antibiotics, so it is best to do a drug sensitivity test and then use effective drugs. Follow-up should be done after treatment. If it is ineffective, another treatment method should be used. Therefore, patience is required during treatment.

For those infected with Candida albicans, in terms of medication, first wipe the secretions on the vulva and vagina with cotton wool, then rinse with 1:5000 potassium permanganate or 2% to 3% sodium bicarbonate solution. After drying, apply 0.5% to 1% gentian violet solution, and then use antifungal suppositories, such as nystatin, clotrimazole, miconazole, econazole, bifonazole, etc., and put one suppository into the vagina before going to bed every night for 7 consecutive days. If the effect is not good, you can take fluconazole 150 mg orally once a day for 3 consecutive days; or itraconazole 200 mg per day for 3 days as a course of treatment. If necessary, repeat the course after the next menstruation.

If you find yourself having such symptoms, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Early treatment can lead to early recovery. If you find yourself with non-gonococcal vaginitis, both husband and wife must be treated at the same time, otherwise it will recur. During the treatment of both diseases, you should avoid sexual intercourse, eat spicy and greasy foods, and quit smoking and drinking.
