What is a fungal infection of the genitourinary system?

  I often see private medical institutions imposing on young patients and fooling them about how their routine prostate fluid tests reveal fungal infections! Is it really that much?  1, first of all I want to tell you that fungal infections of the genitourinary system are not uncommon. The human fungal infection is divided into superficial and deep fungal infection, the genitourinary system fungal infection belongs to the deep fungal infection.  2, the fungus is divided into Candida albicans, yeast Candida, Candida sphericalis, Candida smooth, but a Candida albicans cause the most common, normal human skin, oral cavity, anal and other parts of the fungus exists, but not necessarily cause disease, only under certain conditions such as the indiscriminate use of antibiotics will be infected with disease, it is an important nosocomial infection disease, please note that it is nosocomial infection disease!  3, genitourinary system fungal infection causes: (1) because of the condition of long-term, extensive use of antibiotics or abuse of antibiotics: because under normal circumstances, normal human skin, oral cavity, anus and other parts of the presence of bacteria, these bacteria can inhibit the growth of fungi, if a large number of long-term application of antibiotics, due to a large number of bacteria in these parts of the kill, causing dysbiosis, causing fungal growth in large numbers.  (2) Decreased body resistance: HIV-infected patients, malignant tumors and patients receiving radiotherapy, long-term diabetic patients due to decreased body resistance.  (3) Long-term application of large amounts of steroid corticosteroids, immunosuppressive patients.  (4) Long-term repeated intubation of the urethra, indwelling drainage tube is an important way for the fungus to enter the urinary system.  (5) impure sexual intercourse.  (6) renal impairment: the flushing effect of urine flow is weakened after renal impairment, the fungus is easy to stay in the renal collecting system and infect the fungus.  (7) urinary tract obstruction: urinary tract obstruction causes poor drainage of urine, is also an important cause of fungal infection.  4, clinical manifestations: the first symptom urethral white cloudy material, urine centrifugal sediment can be found fungus, along with urinary tract irritation symptoms; if the infection in the kidney, the fungal mass can block the ureter causing renal colic, accompanied by fever, chills, blood leukocyte elevation, bilateral kidney infection can cause early nuclear medicine examination β – microglobulin elevation, creatinine urea nitrogen.  5, laboratory diagnosis: (1) symptoms, medical history, past medication retrospective follow-up.  (2) Microscopic examination of urine sediment.  (3) Repeated urine culture.  (4) Renal function damage examination: pathological section of excluded white masses; urea nitrogen creatinine; β2 microglobulin examination; nuclear medicine renal function scan; pyelogram; 6. Treatment: (1) Effort treatment of primary disease: such as anti-HIV virus infection, release of obstruction, control of blood sugar, avoidance of antibiotics, corticosteroids indiscriminate use.  (2) antifungal infections such as ketoconazole, miconazole, itraconazole, etc., and allicin tablets.  (3) Chinese medicine: use drugs with antifungal effect such as clove turmeric and other grouping of prescriptions, castor Z fenqing drink plus or minus.
