Vulvitis is the most common gynecological disease in daily life. However, due to different causes, the types of vulvitis also vary. To quickly treat the disease, we need to have an understanding of different types of vulvitis in order to provide targeted treatment.
The common types of vulvitis among young female friends are
(1) Fungal vulvitis: Vulvitis caused by yeast infection often coexists with fungal vaginitis.
(2) Acute vulvar ulcer: Due to various reasons, vulvitis is generally a manifestation of vulvitis during the pathological process.
(3) Sexually transmitted diseases: genital warts, soft scabies, genital herpes, gonorrhea, and other sexually transmitted diseases of the vulva. During the process of onset, the vulva is often inflamed
(4) Vestibular gland inflammation: It is commonly seen in women of childbearing age in vestibular gland cysts caused by acute inflammation caused by bacterial infections such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Escherichia coli. Chronic inflammation persists for a long time, and the vestibular gland duct obstructs the accumulation of glandular fluid. After the acute vestibular gland inflammation subsides, pus is absorbed, and vestibular gland cysts and abscess are also present
(5) Non specific vulvitis: Physical and chemical factors in daily life can stimulate poor hygiene, weaken the body, cause bacterial damage to the female genitalia, cause vulvitis such as cervical vaginitis, or wear airtight nylon underwear. Excessive stimulation of vaginal secretions can cause urine to soak into the vulva.
