Patient's question:
Does eating chili cause the recurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis??Doctor's answer:
Candidal vaginitis is a type of vaginitis caused by Candida, with the most common being Candida albicans sepsis, accounting for 80% to 90%. Other sepsis-causing Candida species include tropicalis, stellatoidea, and pseudotropicalis, among others. Under normal circumstances, Candida albicans can lurk on the oral cavity, pharynx, intestines, skin, and vaginal mucosa of the human body, coexisting peacefully without causing disease. However, when the human body's resistance increases, or when severe diseases are present, there is a deficiency of linked vitamin B, or long-term use of immunosuppressants, candidal vaginitis is prone to occur.
