Vaginal yeast infection, also known as candidiasis, is caused by the Candida fungus and is especially common in women of reproductive age. The most typical symptom is itching, though there are cases of asymptomatic fungal infection. Often, the inflammation also affects the skin of the vulva, which is referred to as vulvovaginal candidiasis.<\/p>

Candida is a normal microorganism in the vagina, but its overgrowth can lead to inflammation and symptoms of vaginitis or vulvovaginitis. The fungus can be transmitted through sexual contact, but also from the anus, the use of antibiotics, or hormonal imbalances.<\/p>

      Many factors can increase the risk of developing a vaginal yeast infection:<\/p>

      • Antibiotics: Reduce the vagina’s normal flora<\/li>
      • Hormonal medications: Birth control or hormone replacement therapy<\/li>
      • Diabetes: Increases susceptibility to infections<\/li>
      • Pregnancy: Hormonal changes that promote fungal growth<\/li>
      • Immunosuppression: Weakened immune system<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Diagnosis of vaginitis is performed by collecting vaginal fluid samples for microscopic examination. In cases of recurrence or if there is no improvement, cultures or PCR testing may be performed. Patients should not take medication without a proper diagnosis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Treatment includes medications administered orally or vaginally, with the appropriate physician determining the approach based on findings. Fluconazole is typically prescribed orally, or vaginal creams\/suppositories are used. In cases of recurrent vaginitis, a specialized culture may be needed to identify the specific fungus.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Prevention focuses on managing risk factors:<\/p>

        • Blood sugar control: Especially for diabetic patients<\/li>
        • Prophylactic treatment: In cases where antibiotic use is known in advance<\/li>
        • Appropriate clothing: Avoid tight garments; opt for cotton underwear<\/li>
        • Proper hygiene: Use white toilet paper and wipe correctly<\/li>
        • Caution during menstruation: Avoid vaginal douching<\/li><\/ul>
