What are the symptoms of a fungal nipple infection?

A yeast infection is a scary thing. The general term for filamentous fungi is mold. Mold grows on the substrate in the form of mycelium that resembles fluff or spider webs. Mold has a wide range of uses. It can be used in winemaking, sauce making, and fermentation industry. But many people get infected by mold. Next, let’s take a look at the symptoms of fungal infection. Please see the information.

Based on the typical clinical manifestations and visual examination of vaginal discharge, the diagnosis of candidal vaginitis is usually not difficult. However, for atypical cases, vaginal discharge examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis, for those suspected of being carriers of fungi, or to understand the effectiveness of treatment. Vaginal secretions can be directly placed on a glass slide, and a small drop of isotonic sodium chloride solution or 10% to 20% potassium hydroxide solution can be added. The slide can be covered and slightly heated for microscopic examination. The red and white blood cells and epithelial cells will immediately dissolve, and the fungus will appear in the form of thread-like fibers or mycelium (mycelia) with microbuds or molecular spores (conidia) attached.

However, the reliability of this method is low (60%). If a smear of vaginal secretions is taken and stained with Gram, groups of Gram-positive, densely stained oval spores can be found under the microscope, or pseudohyphae can be seen connected to budding cells in chains or branches, which are easy to identify and the reliability can be increased to 80%. The most reliable method is to perform a mold culture. In addition, attention should also be paid to related predisposing factors, such as a history of using large doses of steroid hormones or broad-spectrum antibiotics, and the need for urine sugar and blood sugar tests for diabetic patients. What diseases can be complicated by candidal vaginitis?

Cervical erosion, etc.

Pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, and cervicitis. Candida albicans can parasitize in the vagina, oral cavity, and intestines, and the Candida albicans in these three parts can be transmitted to each other. In addition, a small number of patients can be directly transmitted through sexual intercourse and indirectly transmitted through contaminated clothing.

The above is an analysis of the symptoms of fungal infection. Many patients with fungal infections think that the disappearance of these symptoms means that the fungal infection has disappeared or has been cured, but there are still many hidden dangers. The hidden bacterial risks in the body still exist, so you must always pay attention.
