Symptoms of vulvar athlete's foot

As we all know, vaginitis is mostly caused by bacteria invading the body, and the treatment of bacterial vaginitis is relatively difficult. As athlete's foot is also caused by bacteria, can it cause vaginitis? This is a question that many women who are worried that athlete's foot may cause vaginitis want to know the answer to. Let’s listen to the interpretation of authoritative experts on the relationship between vaginitis and athlete’s foot.

Athlete's foot may also cause vaginitis

How does athlete's foot cause vaginitis? Experts point out that athlete's foot is caused by bacterial infection, and bacteria are contagious. If a relative has athlete's foot, the same bathtub or washbasin is not disinfected again, or the same toilet is used at home, or it is infected through swimming, sexual intercourse, sharing towels, etc. In fact, in addition to women's own athlete's foot, husband's athlete's foot can also cause women to suffer from vaginitis. Therefore, female friends must be vigilant if their relatives have athlete's foot and try to avoid using sitz baths together.

Wash private parts and vulva with water contaminated by feet; wash underwear with a basin contaminated by feet; wash underwear and cotton socks together; do not allow underwear and sanitary napkins to come into contact with feet; soak the whole body in the bathroom for a bath. According to this method, the vagina is infected by the bacteria on athlete's foot and suffers from candidal (also known as fungal) vaginitis.

The clinical symptoms are often itchy genitals, often starting from the inside of the labia, then spreading to the vulva, accompanied by itching, scratching, and the skin turning gray. Therefore, it is best for women to use the bathtub to clean their private parts separately from their family members.

How to prevent vaginitis caused by athlete's foot?

To prevent candidal vaginitis, you need to start from the following aspects:

(1) If someone in your family suffers from athlete’s foot, you should take the initiative to seek medical treatment to completely eliminate the pathogen.

(2) Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene: Keep the vulva clean, clean it with warm water every night, change underwear frequently and wash it with hot water, and expose it to the sun.

(3) Correct the bad habit of the couple using the same washing utensils immediately. The basin and towel used by the wife to clean the "lower body" should be dedicated to her husband only.

Therefore, female friends must pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene to prevent athlete's foot from causing vaginitis.

According to the interpretation, we know that athlete's foot can indirectly cause vaginitis. Therefore, in daily life, women should prevent athlete's foot bacteria from infecting the vagina. This first requires women to master the relevant knowledge of preventing vaginitis and take daily preventive measures. For women with athlete's foot, they should go to the hospital in time to treat the athlete's foot, and during the treatment, take preventive measures against vaginitis.
