What do the cocci in the smear mean?
The microflora of the vagina of each woman containsvarious microorganisms that can have both positive and negative effects on the body. Among such there are cocci - bacteria of spherical form, which serve to perform various functions. These can be diplococci, streptococci, staphylococci, sarcin, etc. Most often these bodies lead to the formation of a pathogenic coccal flora. Therefore, if the content of bacteria exceeds the established rate, this threatens with very unpleasant consequences and costly treatment. About that, what cocci and sticks are dangerous for microflora, we will tell in this article.
Identification of bacteria in the smear
The increased concentration in the smear of these organisms suggests that the internal environment of the vagina becomes alkaline. The reaction of the internal environment can be as follows:
weakly acidic (the pH level does not exceed 7.0);
neutral (pH does not exceed 5.0);
Alkaline (pH more than 7.5).
If the bacteria are found in a pregnant smearwomen, it is fraught with serious inflammation that spreads to the urethra, uterine cavity, rectum. This negatively affects the condition and formation of the fetus. Therefore, it is necessary to pass the tests in time to prevent possible problems.
The causes and factors of the appearance of bacteria
Every woman has its own microflora. Cocci in the smear can also appear for various reasons. The most common of these are:
insufficient body hygiene;
irregular sexual relations;
frequent wearing of underwear made of synthetic materials;
long-term use of strong antibiotics;
frequent douching;
infection from a partner in unprotected intercourse;
too early onset of intimate relationships;
Wearing excessively narrow, squeezing laundry.
Treatment of cocci
In analyzes of a healthy person, there can beOnly a single bacterium located in the intercellular space. If the change in microflora is triggered by the ingress of a dangerous infection, then the pathogens will be present and pathogens. However, if the disorders did not occur in an infectious way, but as a result of other factors, the analysis will show an increased content of Candida, leukocytes, cocci and other microbacteria that require careful treatment.
In pregnancy, the presence of cocci in the smear is also notrarity. In such cases, the doctor prescribes drugs that are not dangerous for normal gestation. Also it is worth considering that the danger can come from the sexual partner. For this reason, it is necessary to undergo diagnostics and treatment together.
If the analysis for the content of such microbacteriagoes beyond the norm, then for an adequate and full-fledged treatment the gynecologist prescribes additional gynecological examinations. To detect a potential infectious pathology, the patient is assigned the passage of modern diagnostic techniques - PIF, PCR, etc.
Thus, we considered the main reasons,which lead to the reproduction of the cocco coli in the woman's vagina. Remember that the guarantee of health is hygiene, neatness in intimate life, as well as timely access to a specialist for suspected pathology. Take care of your health and do not expose it to dangers.
