Home remedies for atrophic vaginitis
Hormone related vaginitis is termed as atrophic vaginitis usually found in women during post menopause and in young girls before puberty. Atrophic vaginitis is an inflammation of vagina and some of the symptoms are dryness, itching and thickening of mucous vagina membrane. Some times women also experience pain during sex or urination and foul smelling vaginal discharge is observed. If you are newly diagnosed with atrophic vaginitis a doctor may recommend antibiotics. Few of the home remedies for atrophic vaginitis include applying moisturizers around the dry vaginal area; if the itching is severe then you could apply cold washcloth across the infected area. This causes restriction of blood flow and reduces redness and swelling.
A plain tea bag soaked in water and refrigerated can be applied on the infected area to relieve from itching. A bath with warm water without soap could be useful as soap leaches out natural body oil which protects against the germs, washing with warm water around the vagina will help in reducing the itching.
Other home remedies of atrophic vaginitis include proper hygiene to be followed in bathrooms and in the home like regular cleaning of bathtubs, which are carriers and storage sites for germs. Wiping of commode from front to back helps in prevent spreading of infection from rectal area to genital area. Properly cleaning pantyhose and underwear, and wearing undergarments that have detergent residue could further irritate the vaginitis. Eating yogurt containing live cultures once a day with reoccurring of vaginitis get better with few antibiotics. Home remedies for atrophic vaginitis are not only effective but also safe to use. Almost every woman will have one episode of atrophic vaginitis during the lifetime and many occurrences of irritation, itching and pain so they should maintain good hygiene.
