VAGINAL INFECTION: How it damages woman’s reproductive organs, lower immune and exposes women to danger and its natural treatment.

INTRODUCTION

A human with an infection has another organism inside them which gets its sustenance (nourishment) from that person, it colonizes that person and reproduces inside them. The human with that organism (germ) inside is called the host, while the germ or pathogen is referred to as a parasitic organism.
It is only an infection if the colonization harms the host. It uses the host to feed on and multiply at the expense of the host to such an extent that his/her health is affected.

Vaginal Infections

“Vaginitis” is a medical term used to describe various conditions that cause infection or inflammation of the vagina. Vulvovaginitis refers to inflammation of both the vagina and vulva (the external female genitals). These conditions can result from a vaginal infection caused by organisms such as bacteria, yeast, or viruses, as well as by irritations from chemicals in creams, sprays, or even clothing that is in contact with this area. In some cases, vaginitis results from organisms that are passed between sexual partners.

 SYMPTOMS OF VAGINAL INFECTION

The symptoms of a vaginal infection can vary depending on what is causing it. Some women have no symptoms at all.While some of the more common symptoms of vaginitis include:

• Abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor.
• Burning during urination.
• Itching around the outside of the vagina.
• Discomfort during intercourse.

 Is Vaginal Discharge Normal?

A woman’s vagina normally produces a discharge that usually is described as clear or slightly cloudy, non-irritating, and odor-free. During the normal menstrual cycle, the amount and consistency of discharge can vary. At one time of the month there may be a small amount of a very thin or watery discharge; and at another time, a more extensive thicker discharge may appear. All of these descriptions could be considered normal.

A vaginal discharge that has an odor or that is irritating usually is considered an abnormal discharge. The irritation might be itching or burning, or both. The itching may be present at any time of the day, but it often is most bothersome at night. These symptoms often are made worse by sexual intercourse.

TYPES OF VAGINAL INFECTION.

The six most common types of vaginal infections are:

1- Candida or “yeast” infections.
2- Bacterial vaginosis.
3- Trichomoniasis vaginitis.
4- Chlamydia vaginitis.
5- Viral vaginitis.
6- Non-infectious vaginitis.

Although each of these vaginal infections can have different symptoms, it is not always easy for a woman to figure out which type she has. In fact, diagnosis can even be tricky for an experienced doctor.
Part of the problem is that sometimes more than one type of infection can be present at the same time. And, an infection may even be present without any symptoms at all.

 1- What Is Candida or a Vaginal “Yeast” Infection?

Yeast infections of the vagina are what most women think of when they hear the term “vaginitis.” Vaginal yeast infections are caused by one of the many species of fungus called Candida. Candida normally live in small numbers in the vagina, as well as in the mouth and digestive tract, of both men and women.

Yeast infections can produce a thick, white vaginal discharge with the consistency of cottage cheese although vaginal discharge may not always be present. Yeast infections usually cause the vagina and the vulva to be very itchy and red.

Are Vaginal Yeast Infections Spread Through Sex?

Yeast infections are not usually transmitted through sexual intercourse and are not considered a sexually transmitted disease.

 What Increases the Risk of Vaginal Yeast Infections?

A few things will increase your risk of getting a yeast infection, including:
1- Recent treatment with antibiotics. For example, a woman may take an antibiotic to treat an infection, and the antibiotic kills her body’s good bacteria that normally keep the yeast in balance. As a result, the yeast over grows and causes the infection.
2- Uncontrolled diabetes. This allows for too much sugar in the urine and vagina.
3- Pregnancy which changes hormone levels.
Other factors include:
4- Oral contraceptives (birth control pills).
5- Disorders affecting the immune system.
6- Thyroid or endocrine disorders.
7- Corticosteroid therapy

 2- What Is Bacterial Vaginosis?

Although “yeast” is the name most women think of when they think of vaginal infections, bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common type of vaginal infection in women of reproductive age. BV is caused by a combination of several bacteria. These bacteria seem to over grow in much the same way as do Candida when the vaginal balance is upset. The exact reason for this overgrowth is not known.

Is Bacterial Vaginosis Spread Through Sex?

Bacterial vaginosis is not transmitted through sexual intercourse but is more common in women who are sexually active. It is also not a serious health concern but can increase a woman’s risk of developing other sexually transmitted diseases and can increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) following surgical procedures such as abortion and hysterectomy.

Some studies have shown an increased risk of early labor and premature births in women who have the infection during pregnancy.

However, more recent investigations do not support this relationship.

What Are the Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis?

Up to 50% of the women who have bacterial vaginosis do not have any symptoms. Most women learn they have the infection during their annual gynecologic exam. But if symptoms appear, they can include:
1- White or discolored discharge.
2- Discharge that smells “fishy” that is often strongest after sex.
3- Pain during urination.
4- Itchy and sore vagina.

 

3- Trichomoniasis vaginitis:

This is caused by a tiny single-celled organism that infects the vagina, can cause a frothy, greenish-yellow discharge. Often this discharge will have a foul smell.

Women with trichomonal vaginitis may complain of itching and soreness of the vagina and vulva, as well as burning during urination.

In addition, there can be discomfort in the lower abdomen and vaginal pain with intercourse. These symptoms may be worse after the menstrual period. Many women, however, do not develop any symptoms.

 

4- Chlamydia infection:

This is another sexually transmitted form of vaginitis.
Unfortunately, most women with chlamydia infection do not have symptoms, which makes diagnosis difficult. A vaginal discharge is sometimes present, but not always. More often, a woman might experience light bleeding, especially after intercourse, and she may have pain in the lower abdomen and pelvis. Chlamydia vaginitis is most common in young women (18-35 years) who have multiple sexual partners. If you fit this description, you should request screening for chlamydia during your annual checkup. If left untreated, chlamydia can cause damage to a woman’s reproductive organs.

5- Viral infections:

Infections caused by a virus.

An individual may become infect by:
1- Inhaling the virus (breathing it in)
2- Being bitten by infected insects or parasites
3- Through sexual contact

Viruses are tiny organisms, much smaller than bacteria or fungi. The virus invades its host and attaches to a cell, entering it and releasing genetic material (DNA or RNA). This genetic material helps the virus multiply; it takes over control of the cell, making it replicate the virus. A cell that has this genetic material inserted into it cannot function properly and soon dies. When it does it releases new viruses, which infect new cells, etc.
Not all viruses destroy their host cell. Some of them just alter what the cell does. Some cells become cancerous as a result of a virus interfering with its functions.

Sometimes the genetic material lies dormant in a cell; some time in the future something triggers the cell and the virus starts multiplying again, making the host ill.

However, some viral infections can be systemic – they affect many different parts of the body, causing for example runny nose, sinus congestion, cough, and body aches. A viral infection that causes, for example viral conjunctivitis is local. Viral infections that cause pain, often trigger itching or burning.

 

EFFECTS OF VAGINAL INFECTION.

1- Infertility
If the infection spread up the fallopian tubes and into the abdomen, it can cause a severe infection.  Also, as these infections traverse through the uterus and fallopian tubes, they can cause severe scarring and possible infertility because of unfriendly environment for sperm travel.

2- Rampant Yeast Infections Can Affect Immune System Functioning: This will slow down the immune ability then make you vulnerable to the development of other types of diseases and conditions due to your immune system being suppressed.

3- Yeast Infections During the Menstrual Cycle
Those who are experiencing a yeast infection during their menstrual cycle are at risk of developing a serious condition in which the infection spreads into the intestine. This can cause irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, bloating as well as other unpleasant symptoms.

4- Rare Side Effects of Yeast Infections
Some of the more rare side effects of untreated yeast infections are headaches, mood swings, mouth problems such as sores and blisters, fatigue and gastrointestinal difficulties.

Both men and women can suffer from infections, although women seem to be more susceptible to them. Keep in mind, though, if you have developed infection, it’s advised that your partner be treated as well. Fortunately, infections are relatively easy to cure using effective natural methods.
