Abstract

Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium, and is an important pathogen in antibiotic-associated diarrhea. These bacteria are normal flora in the human digestive tract but can become pathogenic and form toxins consisting of 2, namely toxin A and toxin B. Due to antibiotics including risk factors for C. difficile infection (CDI), the treatment that can be given is probiotics. Probiotics may be effective in the prevention and treatment of CDI in several ways: alteration of gut flora, enhancement of antimicrobial activity, and as immunomodulators. The effect of probiotics, the method of administration, and the varying duration of administration make probiotics unable to be used as a therapy for C. difficile infection. However, probiotics can still be an option for adjuvant therapy in the treatment of CDI.

Abstract

Pathological leucorrhoea is an abnormal disorder in women of childbearing age that occurs in the body in the form of thick white, yellowish, greenish discharge. This is because the composition of the vaginal microflora fluctuates as a function of internal factors such as age,hormonal changes during menarche,menstruation,and pregnancy. External factors such as hygiene practices, sexual relations, and contraceptive use.In the use of Intrauterine devices, there is vaginal discharge that occurs as a result of the initial reaction to the presence of a foreign body, the use of intrauterine contraceptives which can change the chemical balance of the vagina and is thought to cause vaginitis. The research method for this literature review analyzed 8 research articles and assessed the articles based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. This literature reviews various risk factors that influence the occurrence of vaginitis due to the use of non-hormonal intrauterine contraceptive devices that occur in women of childbearing age and through good vulva hygiene behavior,can reduce the risk of physiological and pathological vaginal discharge.Based on these sources,it can be concluded that there is a relationship between vulva hygiene and the use of Intrauterine device with the incidence of vaginal discharge in women of childbearing age.
