A common fungal vaginitis is "Candidal vaginitis". 10% of non-pregnant women and 30% of pregnant women have vaginal candida parasites. Candida must survive in an acidic environment. This disease is more common in pregnant women, diabetics or those who use antibiotics for a long time.

When doctors perform gynecological examinations, they can see a layer of white secretions attached to the vagina, which is not easy to wipe off. After wiping off, the mucosa will appear red and swollen or have bleeding spots. Fungi can be seen when leucorrhea specimens are smeared or cultured.

The urine sugar content of pregnant women increases, and if they have diabetes, the urine sugar level will be even higher. The increase in urine sugar can cause fungi to multiply rapidly, so pregnant women are particularly susceptible to fungal vaginitis. Although there are a small amount of fungi in the vagina of normal women, there are generally no obvious symptoms.

If you suffer from fungal vaginitis, you will feel itching and burning pain in the vulva and vagina, and the pain will worsen when urinating, accompanied by urgency and frequency of urination. You may also feel pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse. In addition, the vaginal discharge is increased and sticky, white bean curd-like or curd-like, and sometimes thin and contains white flakes. The vaginal mucosa is covered with a white membrane, and redness, swelling or bleeding spots can be seen after wiping. When you go to the hospital for a check-up, if your gynecologist does a smear test and culture for you, the fungus can be found.
