Mycotic gynecological inflammation is generally referred to as vulvovaginal pseudomycosis, which is mainly caused by overgrowth of pseudomycotic yeasts when the body’s immunity is lowered.
Prolonged use of broad-spectrum antibiotics or immunosuppressive drugs as well as estrogenic drugs may lead to a decline in the body’s immunity, causing Pseudomonal yeast to overpopulate. Women are also susceptible to Pseudohyphae during pregnancy, which may increase the incidence and recurrence.
Patients who are diabetic and have poorly controlled blood sugar may affect the environment in the vagina, making it easy for Pseudohyphae to colonize. Having a number of medical conditions that result in a compromised immune system may also allow Pseudohyphae to overpopulate.
Pseudohyphae are also found in the gastrointestinal tract, and if the vagina is not hygienic, fecal infections may also cause the disease. Lack of personal hygiene or frequent wearing of tight fitting chemical fiber underwear can increase the temperature and humidity of the vulva causing overgrowth of Pseudomonal yeast.
There are many other causes of vulvovaginal pseudomycosis, which should be prevented in normal life. If you experience any discomfort, you should seek medical attention.
