What happens if fungal infection is serious?

Women's vaginal health is very important. Many women are actually prone to some vaginal health problems, such as candidal vaginitis, which is the most common. Many women have it. Of course, some are milder and some are more serious. Some women do not take it seriously and ignore it after being diagnosed with candidal vaginitis. This is incorrect and may cause the candidal vaginitis to become more and more serious. What happens if the fungus is serious?

1. Affecting the patient's quality of life: Candidal vaginitis will be accompanied by symptoms such as vulvar itching. The itching will make people restless and cause burning pain, which will cause many inconveniences and impacts on women's life and work. In addition, some people also experience frequent urination, painful urination or painful intercourse, which also affects the couple's life.

2. Causes infertility: Candidal vaginitis affects infertility. Under normal circumstances, the vagina has a relatively safe environment with a relatively balanced flora and a relatively balanced acidity and alkalinity. This environment, which is suitable for the temporary retention and passage of sperm, is very important. Once this environment is destroyed, infertility is likely to occur. If you suffer from candidal vaginitis, the change in vaginal acidity and alkalinity will inhibit sperm motility, and inflammatory cells can phagocytize sperm and weaken sperm motility. Fungi have the effect of agglutinating sperm, and sexual intercourse pain and decreased libido during inflammation can all affect pregnancy.

3. Cause pelvic diseases in patients: If candidal vaginitis is not treated for a long time, it is easy to cause ascending inflammation, causing cervicitis and cervical erosion. If the pathogen enters the uterine cavity, it will cause fallopian tube and ovarian inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., and finally affect pregnancy.

4. Impact on fetal development: Women’s sex hormone levels are high after pregnancy, and the vagina is congested, secretions are vigorous, and the vulva is moist, which creates a "breeding ground" for the reproduction of mold. After pregnant women suffer from candidal vaginitis, in a few cases the fungi in the vagina can ascend through the cervix, penetrate the fetal membrane and infect the fetus, causing premature birth. In addition, when the fetus is delivered vaginally by the mother, it may also be infected with fungi, mostly oral fungal infections, such as thrush. Some babies may also develop fungal dermatitis around the anus. It can be seen from this that in order to avoid infecting the fetus, pregnant women with candidal vaginitis should actively seek treatment.
