Why does vaginal yeast appear?

Candidal vaginitis is a very common gynecological disease in life. Generally speaking, there are many causes of candidal vaginitis. The most important one is that candidal vaginitis is caused by not paying attention to hygiene. Some people's candidal vaginitis is caused by indirect infection. Sometimes some people mix underwear with other clothes when washing clothes, which will breed a lot of bacteria. It is very important to develop good living habits.

The dangers of vaginal candidiasis

1. Causes infertility: We know that under normal circumstances, the vagina has a relatively safe environment, with a relatively balanced flora and a relatively balanced acidity and alkalinity. This environment, which is suitable for the temporary retention and passage of sperm, is very important. Once this environment is destroyed, infertility is likely to occur. If you suffer from candidal vaginitis, the change in vaginal acidity and alkalinity will inhibit sperm motility, and inflammatory cells can phagocytize sperm and weaken sperm motility. Candida albicans has the effect of agglutinating sperm, and sexual intercourse pain and decreased libido during inflammation can all affect pregnancy. This type of infertility can quickly return to normal after active treatment. However, the infertility caused by candidal vaginitis is temporary and conception is still possible after the disease is cured.

2. Affecting fetal development: After a pregnant woman becomes ill, in a very small number of cases the Candida albicans in the vagina can ascend through the cervix, penetrate the fetal membrane and infect the fetus, causing premature birth. In addition, when the fetus is delivered vaginally by the mother, it may also be infected with Candida albicans, which often causes oral candidiasis. For example, thrush, as it is commonly known, is caused by oral Candida albicans infection. Some infants may also develop perianal candidal dermatitis. It can be seen from this that in order to avoid infecting the fetus, pregnant women with candidal vaginitis should actively seek treatment.

3. Cause other serious gynecological diseases. If candidal vaginitis is not treated for a long time, it is easy to cause ascending inflammation, causing cervicitis and cervical erosion. If the pathogen enters the uterine cavity, it will cause fallopian tube and ovarian inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., and finally affect pregnancy.

Why is vaginal candidal infection prone to recurrence?

Long-term use of antibiotics inhibits the growth of Lactobacillus, destroys the vaginal ecological environment, and facilitates the reproduction of Candida.

If you like to wear tight synthetic underwear regularly, it will easily increase the local temperature and humidity of the perineum, which is conducive to the growth of Candida.

Direct contact with toilets, bathtubs, etc. in public places can easily lead to fungal infection and cause candidal vaginitis.

In pregnant women and diabetic patients, the glycogen in the vaginal tissue will increase relatively, the acidity will increase, and it is also conducive to the growth of Candida.

People who need to take immunosuppressants and hormone drugs for a long time due to certain diseases are also prone to relapse.

Improper and long-term use of various vaginal washes or suppositories.

How to prevent the recurrence of candidal vaginitis

Drink more water: Drinking more water is very effective in preventing and treating various minor pains and illnesses in the body, and the same is true for candidal vaginitis.

Eat less high-sugar foods: The vaginal glycogen content and acidity are relatively high, making it easy to be invaded by mold. You should eat less high-sugar foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and drink more yogurt, which will help balance the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina.

Dress appropriately: do not wear synthetic underwear, wear cotton underwear, and avoid wearing overly tight pants to ensure breathability of the genitals.

Do not abuse antibiotics: Long-term and excessive use of antibiotics will destroy the restraining relationship between bacteria in the vagina, causing excessive growth of Candida albicans and thus causing disease.

Cleaning the vulva: Unless there are special circumstances, try to avoid using disinfectant lotions, medicated lotions, etc. Clean the vulva with warm water every day, and do not clean the vagina.

Underwear should be washed separately: Change your underwear every day and wash it separately, using a special basin to avoid cross-infection of bacteria. Washed underwear should be dried in the sun, or at least in a ventilated place.

Reasonable use of sanitary pads: Do not use sanitary pads frequently, because the breathability of the material is relatively poor, so be sure to replace them frequently when using them.

Develop good hygiene habits: wash your hands before going to the toilet, do not use low-quality toilet paper, wipe from front to back to avoid bacteria around the anus infecting the vulva, try to avoid sitting toilets when using public toilets, and do not swim in swimming pools that are not properly disinfected.
