Why do you get fungal vaginitis?

Fungal vaginitis is a type of vaginitis caused by Candida albicans. We know that Candida is a common pathogenic bacteria among fungi. It is also called Candida. When you have this fungal vaginitis, you must use some antifungal drugs for treatment in time. You can use nystatin vaginal suppositories to achieve the antibacterial effect. In addition, you can also take oral medications for treatment.

Why do you get fungal vaginitis?

First of all, the reason why women suffer from candidal vaginitis is due to unclean sexual life. Experts suggest that when you are overly tired and under too much psychological pressure, it is best to reduce the frequency of sexual life to avoid inducing candidal vaginitis. In fact, many gynecological inflammations in women are caused by unclean sexual life.

Secondly, bad hygiene habits are also the cause of candidal vaginitis in women, such as washing underwear and socks together, sharing a bathtub with patients with candidal vaginitis, borrowing other people's underwear, etc., which can easily cause cross infection. When going to the toilet, wiping toilet paper from the anus to the urethra will bring intestinal fungi to the vulva and cause inflammation.

Third, when the patient's resistance decreases, they will suffer from many diseases, and candidal vaginitis is also closely related to resistance. Candida albicans lurks in the human oropharynx, intestines, skin and vaginal mucosa, coexists peacefully with the human body and does not cause disease. However, when the body's resistance is reduced or suffers from a serious illness, candidal vaginitis will occur.

Finally, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics is also a reason why women suffer from candidal vaginitis. Many people use sterilization frequently, but for people with candidal vaginitis, antibiotics will inhibit the lactobacilli in the vagina, disrupt the natural ecological balance of the vagina, and cause the microenvironment in the vagina to be destroyed, leading to the onset of candidal vaginitis.

Treatment

1. Change the acidity of the vagina

If you use alkaline drugs to flush the vagina, you can use 2% to 4% soda solution to flush the vagina to change the living environment of the fungus. However, its effectiveness remains controversial.

2. Medication

(1) Nystatin vaginal suppository: inserted deep into the vagina, once in the morning and once in the evening or once every night for 2 weeks. Clotrimazole suppositories or miconazole suppositories can also be used. (2) Oral administration of nystatin or fluconazole, etc. (3) Apply topically nystatin cold cream or miconazole cream twice a day. Pregnant women with candidal vaginitis may recover after delivery, but the newborn is at risk of infection, so timely treatment is still needed, preferably with local medication.

3. Male carriers

Male carriers must also receive routine treatment, which is one of the important measures to prevent recurrence of female patients.
