The natural microflora of the human intestine contains many different gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. These include fecal enterococcus, which is considered a conditionally pathogenic microorganism. When the normal amount of these bacteria is exceeded, serious inflammatory diseases develop. Most often they affect women.
Why are faeces increased enterococci?
The causes of reproduction of the conditionally pathogenic microorganisms under consideration lie in the violation of the intestinal microflora. This can be provoked by the following:
- long-term use of antibacterial medications;
- decreased immunity activity or autoimmune diseases ;
- infection through mucous membranes and skin lesions, especially when manipulated in a hospital by means of raw instrumentation.
It is worth noting that one of the causes of pathology in women often becomes hormonal imbalance. Therefore, fecal enterococcus is often found in pregnant women, due to a constant change in the ratio of estrogens and androgens, as well as endocrine changes in the body.
Symptoms of fecal enterococcus
The main clinical manifestations of the disease are associated with the defeat of the genitals and urinary system, less often the inflammatory process involves the gastrointestinal tract.
Characteristic symptoms of infection:
- frequent urge to urinate at any time of the day;
- decreased libido, lack of orgasms or their erasure;
- persistent weakness and fatigue;
- vaginal discharge of various nature (curdled, mucous) and color, with an unpleasant odor;
- pain in the lower abdomen and inguinal zone;
- unpleasant sensations, burning and soreness with urination, and also during it.
If the disease is not treated for a long time, microorganisms are found not only in laboratory studies of feces, but also in urine. In such cases, bacteriuria is diagnosed. This pathology can cause inflammatory processes such as cystitis and pyelonephritis, flowing into a chronic form.
Than to treat enterococcus?
Therapeutic measures to combat the described disease are established at the legislative level. It is necessary to take the intestine bacteriophage in a liquid form. The drug is drunk on an empty stomach, several times a day, depending on the concentration of enterococci by the results of tests.
Despite the fact that the bacteriophage is less active against microorganisms than antibacterial medications, its use is safer. Enterococci are able to develop resistance to the majority of known antibiotics, after which the therapy of pathology is significantly hampered.
Treatment of fecal enterococcus in women is carried out and with the help of an integrated approach. The therapy scheme includes:
1. Vitamin and multivitamin complexes:
- Madonna;
- Aerovit;
- Macrovitis;
- Multi-tabs.
2. Antibacterial drugs:
- Ceftriaxone ;
- Gentamicin;
- Ampicillin;
- Levofloxacin;
- Nifuratel;
- Rifaximin;
- Doxycycline.
3. Local medicines in the form of:
- antiseptic candles;
- ointments and gels;
- vaginal tablets.
As additional treatment measures are also appointed physiotherapy procedures. For example, sometimes the use of the Parkes-L apparatus is recommended. With the help of three standard programs (5, 6 and 7), an overwhelming amount of opportunistic microorganisms is eliminated, as well as an increase in the protective functions of the immune system, and an intensive restoration of the balance of the intestinal microflora.
