What are the causes of candidal vaginitis?

Fungal vaginitis is actually a major type of vaginitis. The causes of fungal vaginitis are different from those of other types of vaginitis. So what are the causes of fungal vaginitis? The following describes the causes of fungal vaginitis for you:

(1) Pregnancy: During pregnancy, the level of sex hormones in the body is significantly higher than usual, which will increase the glycogen content in the vaginal epithelial cells, increase the acidity of the vagina, and form an environment that is conducive to the growth of Candida albicans. At the same time, pregnancy can reduce the immunity of cells, which makes it easy for Candida albicans to cause disease. According to statistics, 1/3 of pregnant women have Candida albicans in their vagina, with an incidence rate of about 15%, which is one of the causes of candidal vaginitis.

(2) Extensive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics: There are usually many bacteria living in women's vaginas. These different bacterial communities restrain each other, forming a symbiotic state that is not pathogenic. Extensive and long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics causes disorder in the bacterial communities in the vagina, changes the mutual inhibition, and allows Candida albicans to multiply in large numbers. With the increasing use of antibiotics, the incidence of candidal vaginitis has also increased.

(3) Diabetes: After suffering from diabetes, the body's sugar metabolism is disturbed, blood sugar rises, and the glycogen content in the vaginal epithelial cells increases, which also increases the acidity in the vagina, making it easier for Candida to grow and reproduce.

(4) Use of corticosteroids: Long-term use of corticosteroids will reduce the phagocytic ability of white blood cells and reduce the body's immunity; at the same time, corticosteroids can also increase the body's blood sugar level, increasing the possibility of candidal vaginitis.

(5) Use of estrogen: Estrogen can deposit glycogen in vaginal epithelial cells. These glycogens are decomposed into lactic acid by vaginal lactobacilli, which increases vaginal acidity and is conducive to the growth of Candida albicans.

(6) Use of immunosuppressants: This will reduce the body's immunity and make it more susceptible to candidal vaginitis

(7) Suffering from a serious illness that reduces immunity, or vitamin B complex: a lack of this vitamin is also a cause of candidal vaginitis.

The above are the causes of candidal vaginitis. Experts suggest that the best treatment is prevention. Knowing more about the causes of candidal vaginitis will help us prevent it. If you still have questions, you can consult online experts to answer them.
