How Bacterial Vaginosis is Spread

Fungal vaginitis is caused by fungal infection. Young girls and adolescent girls are most likely to become innocent victims of indirect infection. The vaginal mucosa of girls is columnar epithelial tissue, which is thin and tender and lacks estrogen. The vaginal epithelial cells lack glycogen, and their mucus secretions are different from those of adults. They lack vaginal bacteria and cannot maintain the proper acidity in the vagina, making them very susceptible to fungal infection.
