The health of the microbial flora of the vagina affects the risk of sexually transmitted infections. It is the result of a research published in the journal Public Library of Science Medicine, on the 27th of December. The microbiota and vaginal these infections are related.
Vaginitis bacterial, candidiasis vulvovaginales or other vaginal infections can occur in the absence of sexual intercourse, but if micro-organisms individuals are in addition transmitted during a report, this can have an effect on the development of infections. This is especially the case during sex with male partners of non-circumcised.
Moreover, when an infection of the type candidiasis vulvovaginale, the barrier is the lining of the uterus is weakened. This decreases the ability of the vaginal secretions to make a dam against the infections, and increases the number of cells that can be targeted by the AIDS virus.

Reach to identify women at risk

The researchers point out the variety of possible treatments in the case of vaginal infections, sometimes antibiotics, sometimes hormonal. All have advantages and disadvantages. That said this research could lead to better treatments and research in this area. The challenge for doctors and scientists is to reach the women most at risk. In fact, so that tests can be made and treatment implemented, it is necessary that these women are in demand for medical checks.

Research should be conducted to better target women who are at risk and to better detect and treat them.
