Experts explain the high-risk groups for candidal vaginitis

As a gynecological disease that seriously harms women's health, candidal vaginitis is endangering the health of more and more female friends. So who are the high-risk groups for candidal vaginitis ? Let's talk about the high-risk groups for candidal vaginitis.

Generally, the high-risk groups for common candidal vaginitis are:

(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 and increase the acidity of the vagina, forming 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 easier for Candida albicans to cause disease. According to statistics, 1/3 of pregnant women have Candida albicans in their vagina, and the incidence of candidal vaginitis is about 15%.

(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, sugar metabolism in the body 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. This is also a high-risk group for common candidal vaginitis.

(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.

The above is an introduction to the high-risk population for candidal vaginitis. I believe everyone has some understanding of candidal vaginitis. Once a female friend suffers from candidal vaginitis, she must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
