Symptoms of senile vaginitis
Vaginal secretions in elderly patients with vaginitis vaginal secretions increased, secretions thin, pale yellow, serious cases of purulent leucorrhea, odor. Secretions stimulate the vulva, itching or burning sensation.

Vaginal mucosa congestion, there are small bleeding points, sometimes superficial ulcers. If the ulcer surface adheres to the opposite side, the adhesion can be separated during vaginal examination and cause bleeding. If the adhesion is serious, it can cause vaginal atresia. If the drainage of inflammatory secretion is not smooth, it can form vaginal or uterine empyema. When chronic inflammation is formed, there are two results: one is fibrosis of submucosal connective tissue of vagina, loss of elasticity of vagina, and finally formation of vaginal stricture and scar; Another case is vaginal atresia due to adhesion of vaginal wall, even empyema above the atresia.

matters needing attention
1. The diet should pay attention to the digestive function decline of the elderly. At ordinary times, you should eat more soft and light food that is easy to digest and absorb. You can choose japonica rice, glutinous rice, yam, lentil, lotus seed, coix seed, lily, red jujube, longan meat, chestnut, black sesame, black soybean, mussel, walnut kernel, animal liver, eggs and other food that can tonify the spleen and kidney, which is conducive to physical fitness, Reduce bacterial infection. At the same time avoid eating onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and other spicy hot food, so as not to induce vaginal pruritus. 2. Pay attention to the use of drugs. There are many causes of vaginitis, and there are many kinds of vaginitis. The physical quality of elderly patients is poor. When there are external causes, do not use drugs arbitrarily, because the bacteria causing senile vaginitis are mostly Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus and other miscellaneous bacteria. Unlike women of childbearing age, mycotic vaginitis and trichomonal vaginitis are the most common, Therefore, the misuse of hormone drugs can aggravate the imbalance of vaginal flora, and must be treated according to the doctor's advice after detailed examination in regular hospitals. 3. Vulva cleaning attention: because the vulva skin of elderly female patients is generally dry and atrophied, it is not allowed to use soap and other irritant cleaning products to clean the vulva, otherwise it will aggravate the dry skin, cause pruritus and damage the vulva skin. When cleaning vulva, use warm boiled water, which can add a little salt or vinegar. After washing, wipe it with a clean special towel and wash underwear frequently.
