Fungal vaginitis is a very common gynecological disease. For women, inflammation is unavoidable. Fungal vaginitis is not a very serious disease, but it can also cause patients to experience symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, vaginal itching, and painful urination. The treatment of fungal vaginitis is also simple and can be treated with medication. So, do you know the causes of fungal vaginitis? Fungal vaginitis is caused by the fungus Candida albicans. Candida is the most common opportunistic pathogen among fungi, also known as Candida. Therefore, the commonly mentioned candidal vaginitis is also called candidal vaginitis or fungal vaginitis. Patients with fungal vaginitis experience increased vaginal discharge, itching and burning sensation of the vulva and vagina, painful urination, and often redness and edema around the vulva. Leucorrhea is not necessarily a prominent symptom of vaginitis, but watery leucorrhea can range from curd-like to ointment-like. Some are completely thin, like clear serous exudate, but often contain white flakes; others are thick, like curd or crumbs. There are often two distinct clinical manifestations. About half of the patients have a large amount of watery or purulent leucorrhea without white flakes, and the vaginal mucosa is moderately red and edematous, without severe itching or burning, only a feeling of moisture in the vulva. Another type of patient has typical curd-like or flaky, sticky vaginal discharge, highly red and swollen vaginal mucosa, with white flaky films (such as thrush) attached that are easy to peel off; underneath is an eroded base of damaged mucosa or shallow ulcers. In severe cases, ecchymosis may be left behind, with severe itching and burning sensation. During pregnancy, the itching symptoms of candidal vaginitis are more severe. 1. Change the acidity of the vagina If you use alkaline drugs to flush the vagina, you can use 2% to 4% soda solution to flush the vagina to change the living environment of the fungus. However, its effectiveness remains controversial. 2. Medication (1) Nystatin vaginal suppository: inserted deep into the vagina, once in the morning and once in the evening or once every night for 2 weeks. Clotrimazole suppositories or miconazole suppositories can also be used. (2) Oral administration of nystatin or fluconazole, etc. (3) Apply topically nystatin cold cream or miconazole cream twice a day. Pregnant women with candidal vaginitis may recover after delivery, but the newborn is at risk of infection, so timely treatment is still needed, preferably with local medication. 3. Male carriers Male carriers must also receive routine treatment, which is one of the important measures to prevent recurrence of female patients. |
