Can mycosis vaginalis be cured?

  Many of my patients ask, “I often get mycosis vaginalis, can this disease be cured? In fact, the first thing to understand is that mycosis vaginalis can be cured, but being cured does not mean you won’t get infected again. What patients need to pay attention to is how to prevent it after it is cured to avoid re-infection.  Let’s first look at the causes of mycosis fungoides. Mycosis vaginalis is a type of vaginitis caused by Candida, with Candida albicans causing the most disease. Generally, Candida albicans can be latent in the human oropharynx, intestines, skin and vaginal mucosa, and live peacefully with the body and do not cause disease. However, when the body’s resistance decreases, or suffers from a serious disease, has a vitamin B complex deficiency, or applies immunosuppressants for a long time, mycosis vaginalis can easily take advantage of the situation. The use of a large number of antibiotics can also cause mycosis when the vaginal flora is disturbed and the vaginal environment is altered in favor of Candida albicans reproduction. In addition, sexual contact with contaminated clothing and utensils, disinfected sanitary napkins, toilet paper and pads, and poor hygiene habits in daily life can also cause cross-infection.  So our preventive measures start from the following aspects: 1. avoid the abuse of antibiotics. 2.  2, try not to use contraceptive pills, but the use of instrumental contraception. Because the estrogen in the pill has the role of promoting mycobacteria to generate mycelium.  3, wear cotton underwear. Tight chemical fiber underwear, tight chemical fiber underwear can make the local temperature and humidity of the vagina increased, is the best living environment for mold to multiply.  4, control blood sugar. Diabetic patients have low body resistance, vaginal glycogen contains the highest, PH value is on the acidic side, easy to be harmed by mold.  5, underwear must be washed separately. Tinea pedis, gray nails and other molds can multiply in the vagina, skin surface, gastrointestinal tract, nail crevices and other places, causing mycosis vaginalis, skin fungus, gastroenteritis, gray nails and other diseases, these parts of the parasitic mold can also be transmitted to each other.  6, male treatment. Circumcision and suffer from mycotic glansitis. Not timely cleaning, through sexual intercourse can also be infected to each other.  7, avoid excessive cleaning. Frequent use of gynecological cleaning disinfectants, disinfectant pads, etc., disrupt the microenvironment of the vagina itself, so that the balance is out of whack, reducing the self-bacterial ability of the vagina, making it easier for mycobacteria to invade and repeatedly develop.
