Is vaginal candidal infection hereditary?

Gynecological diseases are a series of diseases that have been very popular in recent years, posing a great threat to women's physical health. Therefore, when gynecological diseases occur, they must be treated in a timely manner, and the causes of the disease and treatments for related sequelae must be found. Among them, people are more concerned about whether candidal vaginitis is hereditary? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

Among gynecological diseases, candidal vaginitis is a very common one. Modern medicine believes that the main cause of the disease is infection with Candida albicans. Pregnant women, diabetics, patients receiving long-term high-volume estrogen therapy, patients using antibiotics inappropriately and excessively, and patients receiving radiotherapy are prone to this disease.

Generally speaking, as long as candidal vaginitis is treated in time, it will not be passed on to offspring, so female friends do not need to worry too much. As long as it is discovered early, treated early and the doctor's advice is followed, it can be cured.

The main clinical manifestations of candidal vaginitis are increased leucorrhea, which is white and thick, dregs-like or watery, itching and burning pain of the vulva. When the symptoms are severe, the patient may feel restless and suffer from abnormal pain, which may be accompanied by frequent urination, dysuria, and pain during sexual intercourse. If the epidermis is scratched, it can easily cause superficial ulcers. During gynecological examination, milky white flaky pseudomembranes can be seen covering the mucosa on both sides of the labia minora and the vaginal wall. After wiping them off, congestion, edema, erosion, and bleeding of the mucosa can be seen. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is mainly caused by damp heat.
