In addition, the area of the skin around the genitals also tends to be more often moist. The greater the risk of irritation coupled with the use of various products regarding the skin of the vagina, such as sanitary napkins, cleaning products, textiles, and also contraceptives such as condoms.
This condition can occur at any time, but is more often experienced by women before and during menstruation. Hormonal changes that cause mucus to become more numerous and sanitary napkins made from soft, do not absorb blood properly, and unbreathable (does not allow air circulation) may be the culprit.
The vaginal area that is too moist can cause friction and fungal growth becomes more active. As a result, the vagina will feel itchy, reddish, and cause rashes. This condition certainly makes you uncomfortable in carrying out various activities, right?

Assuming the condition will be good by itself over time, until finally realizing the vagina becomes irritated after the rash appears.
Without treatment and prevention, symptoms of irritation in the vagina can get worse. The combination of vaginal moisture, irritation conditions that already exist, and no circulation in the skin of the vaginal area, can be a nest for bacteria to breed. The following are some of the possible risks that occur if vaginal irritation is not treated.
1. Bacterial vaginosis
Actually, bacteria are not always evil, there are also good bacteria that help maintain a healthy body, such as good bacteria in the digestive system and also the vagina. However, good bacteria and bad bacteria will continue to compete, if there are more numbers, the bacteria will win.
Well, good bacteria in the vagina can not compete with bad bacteria due to the condition of the vagina that is too moist As a result, bad bacteria can multiply actively which causes bacterial vaginosis.
This disease causes changes in mucus; become more numerous and smell unpleasant and will cause a sensation of pain and burning during urination or having sex. If not treated, this condition can affect fertility.
2. Urinary tract infections
Besides bacterial vaginosis, bad bacteria that continue to multiply can cause urinary tract infections (UTI). Bad bacteria, especially bacteria E. colli which accumulates in the vagina, can spread to the bladder and cause inflammation.
Symptoms of UTI that commonly occur are fever, pain and a burning sensation when urinating, as well as pain in the lower back and lower abdomen. This condition may make you want to continue urinating, but only a little urine is released.
Pay attention to the signs and symptoms of these two diseases. Immediately check the doctor before the condition gets worse and complicates treatment.
