Introduction to the causes of recurrent fungal vaginitis

Nowadays, female friends do not pay much attention to their health problems. They rush around for work every day and eat on time. They just make do with the meal time. Moreover, since eating out is not clean and hygienic, a lot of bacteria will invade, especially the hygiene of their private parts, which will lead to many complications. Let us understand the reasons for the recurrence of candidal vaginitis.

Candida is a single-cell fungus that is found in the skin, mucous membranes and vagina of healthy people. Under certain conditions, Candida can invade human tissues and cause inflammation. Its infection in the female reproductive tract often invades the vagina, and subsequently causes inflammation of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes, so it is called vulvovaginal candidiasis. In the past, it has been called candidal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, and candidal vaginitis.

Specific reasons:

1. Transmitted through sexual intercourse. When a woman has sexual contact with a man with a positive Candida culture, the infection rate is 80%; when a man has sexual contact with a woman with candidal vaginitis, the infection rate is 50%. This shows that candidal vaginitis can be transmitted through sexual behavior, so when a woman suffers from candidal vaginitis, her spouse must also receive treatment at the same time.

2. Transmission through indirect contact. Contact with toilets, bathtubs, bath seats, towels in shared toilets infected by fungal patients, and the use of unclean toilet paper can cause transmission. When the number of Candida albicans in the vulva and vagina of the infected person reaches a certain number, fungal vulvovaginitis can occur.

3. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Taking large amounts of antibiotics can also lead to vaginitis. As long as antibiotics are used, whether orally or by injection, they will inhibit the lactobacilli in the vagina, disrupt the natural ecological balance of the vagina, and change the microenvironment of the vagina. Pathogenic bacterial pathogens may multiply, eventually leading to an attack of local candidal vaginitis. So in general, do not take large amounts of antibiotics.

4. Flushing the vagina frequently. Frequent use of medicated washes to clean the vagina will destroy the acid-base environment of the vagina, making it more susceptible to candidal vaginitis. In addition, diabetes and pregnancy may cause vaginal Candida to multiply and increase the rate of Candida carriers. It is very easy to cause fungal vaginitis.

The above article introduces the reasons for the recurrence of candidal vaginitis. I believe everyone has some understanding. For patients with this disease, they should pay more attention to these hygiene issues and arrange their work and rest time reasonably in normal times.
