Can frequent use of antibiotics induce Candida infection? What are the symptoms of Candida infection

Candidiasis is a deep fungal disease caused by Candida that causes acute, subacute, and chronic inflammation of the skin, mucosa, and internal organs. The main pathogenic bacteria are Candida albicans, which can also be tropical Candida, Klebsiella pneumoniae, star shaped Candida, smooth Candida, seasonal Candida, nearly smooth Candida, and pseudotropical Candida. Under normal circumstances, Candida is widely distributed in the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, vaginal mucosa, and skin of the human body. It is only when the body's resistance is reduced that it can cause disease.

Preventive work:

1。 Pregnancy. This is because pregnant women have high hormone levels and elevated glycogen levels in vaginal tissue, providing a good and sufficient carbon source for the growth and reproduction of Candida.

2。 The use of antibiotics. Candidal vulvovaginitis often occurs after long-term use of antibiotics or treatment. Whether systemic or topical, antibiotics can disrupt the normal bacterial community in the vagina, especially the vaginal protection provided by lactobacilli.

3。 Diabetes. The risk of diabetes patients complicated with VVC is increasing. Repeated VVC complications are rare, but if there is stubborn VVC or repeated treatment is not good, the blood should be further checked to see if there is diabetes.

4。 Women's daily hygiene products, cleaning methods, and external genital cleaning methods. (1) Wearing breathable synthetic underwear. (2) Use substandard and inferior sanitary napkins. (3) The investigation shows that the washing machine is moldy and contaminates the underwear during washing. Negligence may cause long-term recurrent infections. (4) After washing the underwear, it is easy to develop Candida in a cool and dry toilet in dark and humid conditions, which can lead to re infection after wearing it. (5) Frequent vaginal cleaning (if done more than once a week) can significantly increase the chances of pelvic infection and moderately increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

5。 Due to the fact that the Candida strains cultivated in the rectum and vagina are identical in most patients, the possibility of direct implantation of the rectum into the vagina cannot be completely ruled out. Improper bowel movements and wiping methods, such as frequent use of wiping from the back towards the vagina, should be done towards the back of the anus.

6。 The mutual transmission of sexual behavior. The diversity of sexual behavior and anal sexual behavior may cause Candida infection, and may also be an important cause of the most stubborn and recurrent VVC. Please check your sexual behavior.
