Genital tract infection

Reproductive tract infections mostly occur in women, mainly through sexual behavior, and may also be caused by exposure to certain pollutants. The pathogens causing reproductive tract infection are Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, virus, mycoplasma, Chlamydia trachomatis, trichomonas and so on.

Genital tract infection

How is reproductive tract infection? Reproductive tract infection (RT) refers to the infection of male and female reproductive systems by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, molds, trichomonads, chlamydia and mycoplasma. , including sexually transmitted infections (STI), endogenous infections (caused by bad hygiene habits, long-term use of antibiotics or hormones, such as fungal vaginitis and bacterial vaginitis) and iatrogenic infections (caused by some avoidable or unavoidable medical factors), the most common of which is HIV.

From the infection site, reproductive tract infection can be divided into upper reproductive tract infection (vulvitis and cervicitis) and upper reproductive tract infection (pelvic inflammatory disease). Upper reproductive tract infection often occurs on the basis of lower reproductive tract infection. Several lower reproductive tract infections can coexist.

Genital herpes

What is genital herpes? Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) invading genitals, skin and mucous membranes, which can cause inflammation, blisters, erosion and ulcerative lesions. It is not only manifested in the genitals, but also causes systemic herpes, and may also lead to oral ulcers. Genital herpes is difficult to cure, easy to relapse and easy to infect.

Herpes simplex virus is divided into 1 type and type 2. The main pathogen of genital herpes is herpes simplex virus type 2, which is different from 1 herpes simplex virus in oral cavity and other places and is mostly transmitted through sexual behavior.

Candida infection

Vulvar pruritus is a common symptom of Candida albicans infection. Once this symptom appears, you should go to the hospital for examination. After the diagnosis of infection, in addition to routine treatment, attention should also be paid to eliminating the inducement of candida infection in daily life in order to effectively prevent repeated infection. The main causes of candida infection are as follows.

1, and its own resistance decreased. Vagina itself has the function of self-purification, and when this function is weakened or the pathogenicity of pathogens is enhanced, it will cause the disease.

2, sexual life infection. If a man has candida infection, he can transmit the pathogen to his wife during sexual life.

3. Infection caused by male bathing. Using public bathtubs and bath towels that are not strictly disinfected can easily lead to candida infection.

4, underwear causes infection. Newly bought underwear can easily cause infection if it is worn on the body without cleaning. Tight underwear can increase the humidity and temperature of perineum, which is beneficial to the growth and reproduction of candida.

5. Diabetic patients and pregnant women. Diabetic patients or pregnant women have increased glycogen and acidity in vaginal epithelium, which is easy to grow candida.

6. Regular or long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Antibiotics destroyed the restrictive relationship between vaginal flora, and candida proliferated.

7, sanitary pads and sanitary napkins cause infection. Long-term use of sanitary pads or replacement of sanitary pads will keep vulva and vagina in a warm and humid environment, which is a good environment for candida growth.

Urinary system infection

What is urinary system infection? Urinary system infection, also known as urinary tract infection, is an inflammatory reaction caused by bacteria invading urothelium, usually accompanied by bacteriuria and pyuria. Urinary tract infection is very common among women, especially sexually active and postmenopausal women. Urinary infection is also a complication of many diseases, such as diabetes and prostatitis, which is widely spread among people.

chlamydia infection

Chlamydia infection will not only lead to inflammation of the eyes and reproductive system, but also lead to female infertility or ectopic pregnancy. However, because most infected people have no symptoms in the early stage, they are easily missed or misdiagnosed. Chlamydia infection can be cured if it is diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. At the time of treatment, the patient's sexual partners must receive treatment together.

Chlamydia has an incubation period of about 1-3 weeks after exposure. If left untreated, it will cause serious infection complications, such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pain and male urethritis, urethral secretions and dysuria and acute epididymitis. Therefore, chlamydia screening should be carried out as soon as possible, especially for high-risk groups such as changing new sexual partners or having multiple sexual partners, having a history of sexually transmitted diseases, unprotected sex, sex workers and drug addicts.

lymphadenitis

Lymphadenitis is secondary to other purulent infection, which is caused by pathogenic bacteria invading lymph nodes along lymphatic vessels. The main pathogen of the disease is pyogenic bacteria, and the main pathogens are streptococcus and staphylococcus aureus. When the human body is accidentally injured or secondary to other purulent infections, purulent bacteria will invade local lymph nodes along lymphatic vessels, which can cause acute inflammatory lesions. The main pathological changes were congestion, edema and exudation of lymph nodes, and coagulation of lymph and bacteria.

Because lymph is a lymph node concentrated in a specific area, primary infection in a certain part can only cause lymphadenitis in a certain part. Therefore, this disease mostly occurs in the neck, armpit and groin. Lymph node infection can cause lymphadenitis and adhesion, which can develop into abscess and form lymphadenitis.

Female mycoplasma infection

Ureaplasma urealyticum is an important pathogen. If a woman is positive for Ureaplasma urealyticum, it proves that she has been infected. Ureaplasma urealyticum is closely related to female reproductive health. Ureaplasma urealyticum can cause genitourinary tract infection, which is considered to be the most important pathogen of nongonococcal urethritis after chlamydia (50%).

Its mode of transmission is mainly through sexual life, which is more common in the prime of youth, especially after unclean sexual intercourse. When inflammation occurs in the urogenital tract and the mucosal surface is damaged, Ureaplasma urealyticum can easily invade from the damaged oral cavity, causing urogenital infection. After infection with Ureaplasma urealyticum, most patients have no obvious symptoms, so it is difficult for patients to find it, and doctors can easily miss the diagnosis. Ureaplasma urealyticum can invade urethra, cervix and vestibular gland, causing urethritis, cervicitis and vestibular gland inflammation; Upward infection can cause endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease and salpingitis, especially salpingitis. The pathological changes of female reproductive organs caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum infection are an important cause of infertility.

After pregnancy, due to the increase of progesterone, women's cellular immunity is suppressed, their body resistance is reduced, and they are more likely to be infected with Ureaplasma urealyticum. Perinatal infection caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum has become a new problem faced by modern obstetrics.

If a woman is positive for Ureaplasma urealyticum through examination, it proves that she has been infected at this time and should be treated in time.

Tuberculosis of reproductive system

Reproductive tuberculosis is a disease occurring in reproductive organs, which will directly affect fertility. Can reproductive tuberculosis be cured?

Reproductive tuberculosis can be cured. Genital tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis invading genitals. Because of its slow course of disease, there is often no acute onset process, and some patients have no obvious symptoms except infertility, so they are often missed in clinic because of negligence. This disease mostly happens to young women. Because many patients are not conscious of discomfort, they were accidentally discovered during infertility examination, so it is difficult to distinguish this disease from general non-tuberculosis chronic reproductive organ inflammation in clinic, so it is impossible to obtain accurate incidence.

The clinical manifestations of reproductive tuberculosis are generally female infertility, mainly because tuberculosis can infect fallopian tubes, leading to tubal inflammation, another is tubal obstruction, leading to impassability, and another is endometrial tuberculosis, which can affect the implantation of fertilized eggs in the endometrium and lead to abortion. Female reproductive tuberculosis can cause lower abdominal pain, another is irregular menstruation, and the other is increased leucorrhea in reproductive tuberculosis.
