Patient's question:
31 years old this year, recently I've always felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and aching waist. Moreover, my private area has been very uncomfortable, with itching and burning, especially in the afternoon, it's really unbearable. Please ask: Is candidiasis vaginitis caused by pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Although it cannot be said that candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by pregnancy, the recurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis is indeed related to pregnancy. During pregnancy, due to the changes in hormone levels in the body, vaginal discharge increases, and the vaginal environment changes, making it easier for the vagina to be re-infected. Of course, candidal vulvovaginitis is also closely related to sexual activity. That is to say, whether it is an imbalance of the body's flora or sexual transmission, both can lead to the recurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis.
