How to get fungal vaginitis

Vaginal candidiasis is a relatively common gynecological disease. It affects the health of women and also has a negative impact on their lives and work. The main manifestations of vaginitis are increased vaginal discharge, vulvar itching, burning sensation, urinary pain and urgency, etc. Moreover, it is contagious to both spouses and is prone to relapse. So how do you get vaginitis? Only by understanding the cause can you better avoid this disease. Let’s learn about it together below.

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; washing underwear and socks together, borrowing other people's underwear, etc., will also cause cross infection. Although being infected once or twice is not a problem, if it continues for a long time, candidal vaginitis may occur. In addition, unclean sexual life may also lead to gynecological diseases, and in severe cases may even cause sexually transmitted diseases.

2. Excessive cleaning of the vulva. Some women care too much about the cleanliness of the vulva and frequently use medication or lotion to wash 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.
