Is there a relationship between candidal vaginitis and high blood sugar?

Patient's question:

I am 5 months pregnant. A hospital check revealed a 50g glucose tolerance test blood sugar level of 8.48. In the past few days, I have experienced external genital itching and yellow discharge, suspecting it might be a fungal vaginal infection. Is this related to high blood sugar?

Doctor's answer:

Many women in life may suffer from vaginitis, either lightly or heavily. After contracting vaginitis, many people tend to develop a negative mindset, believing it to be an incurable condition. In reality, this is not the case. The treatment for vaginitis is active, and it requires thorough treatment for both partners.
Advice: Vaginitis is a highly recurrent condition, so we must also pay attention to post-treatment recovery and health care during the healing process. Engaging in meaningful aerobic exercises can not only enhance our immune system but also accelerate blood circulation.
