Pictures of vaginal yeast infection

We often hear the term fungal infection in our daily lives. Fungal infection is actually an infection caused by a bacteria called Candida. For women, fungal infection mostly refers to vaginitis. So what causes fungal infection?

1. Large amounts of long-term use of antibiotics not only kill pathogens, but also kill a large number of intestinal probiotics, reducing the number of intestinal probiotics and causing an imbalance in the intestinal flora in the vagina, which will be prone to fungal infection.

2. If you use estrogen treatment for a long time or take immune preparations for a long time, it will change the pH value in the vagina, increase the acidity in the vagina, and be more conducive to the growth of fungi, thus increasing the probability of fungal infection.

3. Not paying attention to vaginal hygiene, having many sexual partners, having sex when your immunity is weakened, or touching toilets, bathrooms, cotton towels and other objects used by sick people can all cause infection.

In order to prevent fungal infection, we must pay attention to daily cleaning in our daily life. Do not use vaginal wash liquid indiscriminately. You can use soda water to clean the vagina, which can improve the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina and inhibit the growth of fungi. When cleaning the vagina, try to use a shower, and the towel should be special and changed frequently. Also pay attention to the diet, with light taste as the main focus, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods to prevent the infection from worsening. Regular exercise should be increased to improve the body's resistance. When the body is strong, it is less likely to be infected by fungi.

What are the symptoms of vaginal candidiasis?

There is a burning sensation at the affected area first, and then 3-10 red papules in groups appear on the basis of the erythema, accompanied by itching. The papules quickly turn into small blisters, which turn into pustules after 3-5 days. After rupture, large areas of erosion and ulcers are formed, which are active and painful, and eventually heal with scarring. The entire history of the illness may last about 20 days. Most male patients have bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy.

Generally, the genitals develop candidal vaginitis in the second week after infection, and most of them are caused by the virus infection itself in the infected genitals.
