Patient's question:
What is the reason for getting vaginitis about 20 days after menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Candida is a single-celled fungus that is present on the skin, mucous membranes, and in the vagina of healthy individuals. Under certain conditions, Candida can invade human tissues and cause inflammation. Its infection in the female reproductive tract often affects the vagina, leading to inflammation of the external genital skin and mucous membranes, hence the term vulvovaginal candidiasis. It was previously referred to as candidal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, and mold vaginitis. Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, strictly prohibit sexual activity, and actively treat the condition. If treated promptly, it will have no impact on the fetus.
