What causes vaginal candidiasis?

Candidal vaginitis is the old name, now it is called candidal vaginitis, or vulvovaginal candidiasis. Candidal vaginitis may be caused by the large-scale use of immunosuppressants, long-term use of antibiotics, obesity, wearing tight underwear, diabetes, etc. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for treatment in time, and after the doctor's face-to-face consultation and relevant examinations, take treatment for the cause after the cause is determined. The specific introduction is as follows:

1. Extensive use of immunosuppressants: People with immune system diseases need to take immunosuppressants for a long time, which leads to relatively low local resistance of the vagina, which can easily lead to Candida infection and increase the chance of Candida vaginitis. It is recommended to actively treat the primary disease under the guidance of a doctor, and do not blindly use immunosuppressants for treatment; at the same time, it is also necessary to use drugs such as clotrimazole suppositories, bisoprolol suppositories, nitrofurantoin vaginal ointment, etc. under the guidance of a doctor to treat Candida vaginitis.

2. Long-term use of antibiotics: Patients with respiratory tract infections and reproductive system infections may need long-term oral and injectable antibiotics for treatment. Long-term use of antibiotics may cause imbalance in the body, resulting in a double infection of the original Candida in the body, leading to candidal vaginitis. It is recommended to adjust the use of antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor, and also use fluconazole tablets, nystatin tablets, diazopeptide suppositories and other drugs to treat candidal vaginitis.

3. Obesity and wearing tight underwear: For obese people and those who always wear tight underwear, it may cause the local temperature and humidity of the vagina to rise, leading to the excessive reproduction of Candida, thus inducing Candida vaginitis. It is recommended to actively remove the inducing factors, pay more attention to local hygiene, keep the local area clean and dry, wear cotton and loose underwear, etc.

4. Diabetes: For women with diabetes, poor long-term blood sugar control may lead to vaginal flora imbalance, especially increased acidity, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of Candida albicans, thereby inducing Candida vaginitis. It is recommended to actively treat diabetes and control blood sugar within the ideal range, and Candida vaginitis can be relieved.
