What is Candida vaginitis?

  Candida vaginitis, also known as mycotic vaginitis, is mainly due to vaginal infection with Candida and can occur in women at all stages of life, such as young girls, pregnant women, adult women, etc. On the other hand, the probability of vaginitis is greatly increased if a woman has a history of diabetes mellitus or is a long-term high-dose user of estrogen. The main reasons for this are vaginal dysbiosis, lack of hygiene and sexual intercourse.  Gynecological inflammation is a common disease in women, including vaginitis, cervicitis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. It is inevitably related to lack of attention to vulva hygiene, diet and poor body resistance, especially during menstruation and unclean sexual intercourse, and has a relatively high probability of recurrence.  The main symptoms of Candida vaginitis are increased leucorrhea, bean curd-like or creamy leucorrhea, itching and burning in the vulva and vagina. Gynecological inflammation can easily coexist with cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, urethritis, etc., which can cause lower abdominal distension and pain, frequent urination, urinary urgency, painful intercourse, etc. The diagnosis can be confirmed by routine examination of the leucorrhoea. You can take oral or topical vaginal medication and douche the vagina with alkaline medication to change the pH of the vagina. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse and bathing are forbidden, and the vulva should be clean and hygienic. If the man also has obvious symptoms or is confirmed to be a carrier, both partners need to be treated together.  In conclusion, Candida vaginitis can be cured, but it is easy to relapse if you don’t pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva and sexual intercourse, excessive use of hormonal drugs or spicy stimulating food.
