Introduction to the causes of fungal vaginitis

When it comes to candidal vaginitis, women may be familiar with it, because many women now say that they are troubled by and affected by this disease. Therefore, for female friends, it is necessary to understand its treatment and coping methods to effectively reduce the impact and harm of this gynecological inflammation. The following is a detailed analysis of the major causes that are likely to lead to candidal vaginitis.

The main causes of the disease are: sexual contact, contaminated clothing and utensils, unsterilized sanitary napkins, toilet paper and panty liners.

There are many kinds of fungi, the most important of which is Candida albicans in the human body. 80-90% of vaginal infections are caused by Candida albicans, and the rest are caused by other species of Candida and Tomlopsis. Therefore, fungal vaginitis is actually Candida vaginitis or vaginal candidiansis. Candida albicans is oval in shape, and is formed by the elongation of blastospores and cell germination to form pseudohyphae. Pseudomycetes are connected to spores to form branches or chains. Candida is usually a putrefactive parasite that can live in the skin, mucous membranes, digestive tract or other organs of a normal human body.

It often exists in the vagina without symptoms. About 10% of non-pregnant women with increased leucorrhea and about 30% of pregnant women have this fungus parasitizing in the vagina. When vaginal glycogen increases and acidity rises, or when the body's resistance is reduced, it can become a cause of disease. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and adrenal cortex hormones can greatly increase fungal infections because the above two drugs can cause dysbacteriosis in the body, change the mutual restraint relationship between microorganisms in the vagina, and reduce the ability to resist infection. In addition, vitamin deficiency (vitamin B complex), serious infectious diseases, and other wasting diseases can all become favorable conditions for the reproduction of Candida albicans. The glycogen content of vaginal epithelial cells increases during pregnancy, and the acidity of the vagina increases. In addition, the renal glucose threshold of pregnant women is lowered, and nutritional diabetes often occurs. The increased sugar content in urine promotes the growth and reproduction of Candida albicans.

I hope that after the above analysis and introduction, female friends can pay more attention to these reproductive health issues. However, if affected by candidal vaginitis, they should follow the doctor's advice and actively seek treatment in time. They should also pay attention to some reproductive health in their daily lives and do a good job of private hygiene care.
