What is gynecological fungus?

Gynecological fungal infection is generally what we call fungal vaginitis, which is a relatively common gynecological disease. It is quite harmful to the female reproductive system. There are many causes of fungal vaginitis, including unclean sexual behavior, skin lesions caused by inappropriate clothing, as well as some drug stimulation, chemical allergies and other possible reasons, which may eventually lead to the appearance of gynecological fungi.

What is gynecological fungus?

1. Skin lesions: If female friends have skin lesions, such as abrasions, herpes, etc., it will cause vulvar itching and peeling, and eventually lead to the occurrence of Trichomonas vaginitis.

2. Inappropriate clothing: If women like to wear non-breathable jeans and tight underwear, it will cause the local temperature of the vulva and vagina to increase and become moist. A slight friction can easily cause maceration of the vulva and vaginal mucosa or vaginal damage, thereby causing Trichomonas vaginitis.

3. Transmission in public places: If female friends do not pay attention to the hygiene of public facilities, they can easily be infected with Trichomonas vaginitis.

4. Drug allergy or chemical irritation: If female friends are allergic to soap, condoms, etc., it may cause contact or allergic dermatitis, or even trichomoniasis vaginitis.

5. Bad hygiene habits: If female friends do not pay attention to personal hygiene and the cleaning of private parts, long-term stimulation by vaginal secretions may also lead to the occurrence of Trichomonas vaginitis.

6. Nutritional imbalance: Trauma, hormone or nutritional imbalance, immune deficiency, antibiotics and cytotoxic drugs leading to dysbacteriosis or changes in the skin and mucosal barrier function may also lead to the occurrence of this disease.

How to treat fungal infection

(1) General treatment: Candidal vaginitis can be treated by washing the vulva with baking soda water. Change underwear every day and wash and boil it to disinfect it. After one course of treatment, if the fungal test is negative, and the fungal test is negative after each menstrual cycle, the patient is considered cured after three consecutive courses of consolidation treatment. Actively treat other diseases that may cause candidal vaginitis and eliminate susceptible factors. Keep the vulva clean and dry and avoid scratching. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment. It is not advisable to eat spicy and irritating foods.

(2) Changing the pH value of the vagina: The most suitable pH value for the growth of Candida is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solutions to flush the vulva and vagina can change the pH value of the vagina and inhibit the growth and reproduction of fungi. You can use drugs to flush the vagina 1 to 2 times a day, and one course of treatment is 2 weeks. After flushing, wipe the vulva dry and keep it dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.

(3) Vaginal medication: Using suppositories to apply vaginal medication has a good effect on candidal vaginitis.

(4) Topical ointment: Applying ointment externally can treat vulvitis caused by fungal infection and relieve symptoms of vulvar itching and pain. Apply externally several times daily for 2 weeks. Some drugs are made with a small amount of local steroid therapeutic agents, which have a good antipruritic effect and are more suitable for people with candidal vulvitis and vaginitis who suffer from unbearable vulvar itching and pain. Apply externally to the vulva, once in the morning and once in the evening.

(5) Oral medication: Since fungal infections can be transmitted between couples through sexual intercourse, both parties can be treated with oral medication, which can also inhibit intestinal Candida albicans.
