The effect on the vagina flora in patients with hysterectomy

Objective To study the alterations of vagina flora and pH of vaginal secretion in women after hysterectomy,and to find appropriate treatment for vaginitis in these patients.Methods Investigation was carried out in 30 patients without vaginitis after the operation,30 patients with senile vaginitis after the operation,and 30 healthy age-matched women respectively.pH of the vagina secretion was assayed,and the flora was analyzed.Patients were treated by the fatty acid fraction of lactobacillus DM9811 metabolite.Results The data showed that the number of many bacterium were decreased,particularly lactobacilli after the operation.There was not an absolute dominant bacterium.The number of lactobacillus was decreased,and the number of staphylococcus aureus,bacteroides and coli.bacillus were risen obviously in patients with vaginitis.Vagina pH was 5.9~7.3 in 60 cases of the patients with the operations.The pH of the patients with vaginitis was higher than that of the patients without vaginitis.The patients were treated by the fatty acid fraction of lactobacillus DM9811 metabolite.The cure rate was 82.14%,and the total effective rate was 85.71%.Conclusions The number of lactobacillus in vagina were decreased obviously after the operation,pH of the vagina secretion was risen,senile vaginitis were happened easily.The therapeutic effect of the fatty acid fraction on senile vaginitis was certain.
