Are fungal infections serious?

Fungal infection is a very common vaginal disease among women. For women who have sex, if they do not pay attention to their private parts, it is easy to cause bacterial infection, which will lead to the appearance of vaginal fungi. Although fungal infection is not a serious disease, if it is not treated for a long time, not only will the condition worsen, but it may also cause other complications, which is very harmful to physical health.

Are yeast infections in women serious?

Fungal infection in women is not very serious, but the disease may cause repeated attacks. If it is not treated well, it will seriously affect daily life and work. Some women will experience vulvar itching during work, which is very embarrassing.

1. Cause female infertility. After suffering from candidal vaginitis, the natural environment of the female vagina will be affected, making it unsuitable for the retention and passage of sperm, leading to female infertility.

2. Affect fetal development. If you are lucky enough to get pregnant after suffering from candidal vaginitis, or if you contract the disease after becoming pregnant, it will have a certain impact on the fetus. The bacteria can ascend and penetrate the fetal membrane to infect the fetus, causing premature birth.

3. Cause other diseases. If candidal vaginitis is not treated in time, the bacteria will spread and cause other gynecological diseases, such as cervical erosion, cervicitis, etc. If the pathogens are brought into the uterine cavity, it will also cause pelvic inflammatory disease and salpingitis.

Why do you get vaginal candidal infection?

1. Not paying attention to personal hygiene, touching toilets, bathtubs, bath seats, towels, etc. in public toilets infected with mold patients, using unclean toilet paper, and wiping the toilet paper from the anus to the urethra after going to the toilet, which will bring intestinal mold to the vulva and cause inflammation.

2. Excessive cleaning of the vulva. Some women care too much about the cleanliness of the vulva and frequently use medication or lotion to rinse the vulva. This can easily destroy the acid-base environment of the vagina, causing imbalance, reducing the vagina's self-antibacterial ability, and 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.

3. The body's resistance decreases. When the body's resistance decreases, many diseases will occur. Candida albicans can lurk in the human oropharynx, intestines, skin and vaginal mucosa and can coexist peacefully with the human body. However, when the body's resistance decreases, or suffers from a serious disease, has a vitamin B complex deficiency, or uses immunosuppressants for a long time, it is easy to cause candidal vaginitis.

4. Abuse of antibiotics. Although antibiotics have bactericidal effects, frequent use will disrupt the natural ecological balance of the vagina, inhibit some beneficial bacteria, cause damage to the microenvironment in the vagina, and lead to the occurrence of candidal vaginitis. In addition, the use of birth control pills can easily lead to the recurrence of candidal vaginitis because the estrogen in birth control pills can promote the production of fungal hyphae.
