Is vaginal discharge abnormal?

Vaginal candidiasis can cause abnormal vaginal discharge, which is manifested as increased vaginal discharge, dregs of tofu or curd-like, accompanied by itching and odor. Treatment requires a combination of antifungal drugs, local care and lifestyle adjustments.

1. Causes of candidal vaginitis

Vaginitis candidiasis is mainly caused by Candida albicans infection. Common causes include:

-Physiological factors: decreased immunity and fluctuations in hormone levels (such as during pregnancy and menstruation) increase the risk of infection.

-Environmental factors: A humid, hot and stuffy environment (such as wearing non-breathable underwear) is prone to mold growth.

-Lifestyle habits: Long-term use of antibiotics and excessive cleaning of the private parts (such as frequent use of wash lotions) will disrupt the balance of vaginal flora.

-Pathological factors: Underlying diseases such as diabetes and immune system diseases may also induce fungal infections.

2. Treatment of candidal vaginitis

Treatment of candidal vaginitis requires a combination of medication and lifestyle adjustments:

-Medication:

1. Antifungal drugs: such as clotrimazole suppositories and fluconazole oral tablets, which directly inhibit the growth of fungi.

2. Topical medications: such as miconazole ointment and nystatin suppositories, to relieve itching and inflammation.

3. Auxiliary drugs: such as probiotic preparations, help restore the balance of vaginal flora.

- Local care:

1. Keep your private parts clean and dry, and avoid using irritating lotions.

2. Choose cotton, breathable underwear and avoid tight clothing.

-Lifestyle adjustment:

1. Reduce the intake of high-sugar foods and eat more foods rich in vitamins.

2. Avoid the abuse of antibiotics and use them under the guidance of a doctor when necessary.

3. Measures to prevent fungal vaginitis

The key to preventing candidal vaginitis is to maintain a healthy vaginal environment:

-Avoid over-cleaning and use warm water to wash the vulva.

-Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and avoid sharing personal items such as towels with others.

- Have regular physical examinations to promptly detect and treat underlying diseases, such as diabetes.

Although candidal vaginitis is common, it can be effectively controlled through standardized treatment and scientific prevention. If the abnormal vaginal discharge persists or worsens, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.
