What to do if fungus recurs after abortion

Many women are often affected by gynecological inflammation, and their physical and mental health suffers. Especially for women who have poor physical recovery and weak qi and blood after abortion, candidal vaginitis often recurs and is difficult to cure. In fact, the recurrence of fungal infections in women is generally due to excessive intake of antibiotics or decreased body resistance, which causes the proliferation and growth of fungi and repeated attacks of fungal vaginitis. What should I do if fungus recurs after abortion? Is there any effective way to prevent recurrence?

According to statistics, about 10% to 20% of healthy women have Candida albicans in their vagina. So why does fungus recur after abortion? Under what circumstances will these Candida albicans multiply and become pathogenic bacteria?

Causes of fungal recurrence after abortion

(1) Extensive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics: There are usually many bacteria living in women’s vaginas. These different bacterial communities restrict each other, forming a symbiotic state, and are not pathogenic. The large-scale and long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics after abortion causes the flora in the vagina to become disordered, the mutual inhibitory effects between them are changed, and Candida albicans can multiply in large numbers. With the increasing use of antibiotics, the incidence of candidal vaginitis has also increased.

(2) Pregnancy: During pregnancy, the level of sex hormones in the body is significantly higher than usual, which will increase the glycogen content in the vaginal epithelial cells, increase the acidity of the vagina, and create an environment that is conducive to the growth of Candida albicans. At the same time, pregnancy can reduce the immunity of cells, which makes it easier for Candida albicans to cause disease. According to statistics, one-third of pregnant women have Candida in their vagina, with an incidence rate of about 15%.

(3) Diabetes: After suffering from diabetes, the body's sugar metabolism is disordered, blood sugar rises, and the glycogen content in the vaginal epithelial cells increases, which also increases the acidity in the vagina, making it easier for Candida to grow and reproduce.

(4) Use of corticosteroids: Long-term use of corticosteroids will reduce the phagocytic ability of white blood cells and reduce the body's immunity; at the same time, corticosteroids can also increase the body's blood sugar level, increasing the possibility of candidal vaginitis.

(5) Use of immunosuppressants: This will reduce the body's immunity and make it more susceptible to candidal vaginitis.

(6) Application of estrogen: Estrogen has the effect of depositing glycogen in the vaginal epithelial cells. These glycogens are broken down into lactic acid by vaginal lactobacilli, which increases vaginal acidity and is conducive to the growth of Candida albicans.

(7) Suffering from a serious disease that reduces immunity or when there is a deficiency of vitamin B complex can also easily lead to candidal vaginitis.
