Vaginitis Clinical Trial

Official title: Investigation of the Effect of Nutrition and Risk Factors on the Failure of Vaginitis Treatment

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Vaginitis is an inflammation or infection of the vagina. It is successfully treated for causative pathogenesis. However, it can be recurrent or treatment-resistant vaginitis. The investigator's aim in this study is to investigate the effect of nutrition and risk factors on the failure of vaginitis treatment.

Clinical Trial Description

Predictively investigated patients diagnosed with vaginitis in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic between January 2022 and April 2022. Patients with a diagnosis of vaginal infection, which were planned for medical treatment, who came for a follow-up examination, whose treatment effectiveness was re-evaluated, and whose data were complete were included in the study. Patients with co-existing gynecological diseases, who did not use the recommended medical treatment regularly, did not come to the follow-up examination within the recommended time, and could not evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment were excluded from the study. The Obstetrician and Gynecologist gave medical treatment to all patients diagnosed with vaginal infection. The patient was called for control two weeks later. The patients included in the study were divided into two groups, those who recovered after treatment (group 1) and those who were resistant to treatment (group 2) and were compared. Demographic data (age, gender), menopause, presence of diabetes mellitus, medical history, body mass index (BMI), total body fat and abdominal fat ratio, daily fiber consumption, carbohydrate percentage in the diet, and simple sugar ratio were recorded for the patients included in the study. In addition, the presence of birth in her medical history, delivery technique (vaginal, cesarean section), and history of recurrent vaginitis were questioned and recorded. Anthropometric measurement Body weight and height measurements of the patients were made. Body mass index was calculated as weight (kilograms) / height squared (square meters). Body fat measurement TANITA device is a device with 8 electrodes, working with 50 kHz constant current (hand to hand, foot to foot), measuring fat ratio, muscle mass and lean mass value for five different regions (right and left arm, right and left leg, trunk) with 5 different current waves. The measurements were carried out considering the working principles of the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) device. Total body fat and abdominal fat ratio were measured with Tanita. Measurements were calculated as a percentage (%) and recorded. Nutritional Consumption Record (BeBiS). In the study, information about the patient's diet and the carbohydrate, fat and protein ratios consumed in the diet was obtained by questioning the daily consumed foods when the patient came to the control. The three-day food consumption of the patients was recorded using the BeBis program. First, the percentage of carbohydrates and simple sugars (%) of dietary food intake was calculated and recorded. In addition, the daily pulp consumption amount (grams) was recorded. ;
