Patient's question:
I am 34 years old, female. Recently, I feel that my body is not very good, always feeling a pain in my abdomen again. In addition to constantly having the recurrence of vulvar itching, please ask how many types of vaginitis can persist to the end.Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis. It is mainly caused by infection with Candida albicans. This fungus naturally resides in the vagina, and when local environmental conditions change, it can easily lead to an outbreak of inflammation. It is common in pregnant women, young girls, diabetic patients, and those receiving high-dose estrogen therapy. The optimal pH for Candida growth is 5.5, and the weakly acidic environment of the vagina helps maintain its self-cleaning function. The normal vaginal pH is 3.7-4.5. Therefore, using a feminine care liquid with a pH 4 weak acid formula not only excels in daily cleaning and regulation but also inhibits the growth of Candida during illness. When using public restrooms, use feminine wipes to dry the external genital area and keep it dry to prevent the growth of Candida.
