Will long-term use of sanitary pads cause vaginitis?

My menstruation this time is a bit strange, all come in bits and pieces. Once it is about ten days, I need to use a sanitary pad for a long time. Will long-term use cause vaginitis?

    In general, it is not recommended to use sanitary pads for a long time, because long-term use of sanitary pads will greatly increase local humidity and temperature, especially in hot and humid climates. This not only creates suitable conditions for the growth of bacteria and fungi, but also destroys the pH of the vagina, reducing the local protective barrier and causing vaginitis.
