Patient's question:
Hello, I have recently experienced some health issues, so I would like to consult about this disease, candidiasis, how it is acquired.Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis is a common type of vaginitis, primarily caused by Candida albicans. This fungus normally resides in the vagina. When the sugar level in the vagina increases and the acidity rises, the fungus rapidly multiplies, leading to inflammation. Long-term use of antibiotics can disrupt the mutual inhibitory relationship between microorganisms in the vagina, allowing the fungus to proliferate and cause infection. There are many treatment methods for vaginitis, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches differ. Therefore, it is essential for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
