Five and a half months pregnant, how is candidal vulvovaginitis caused?

Patient's question:

Itchy both inside and outside the vagina, checked the vaginal discharge, found mold. At first, it was just the external itching, but in the past two or three days, it has started to itch inside the vagina as well. I have been very careful, washing with clean water every night, but I still got vaginitis. Could you please tell me generally how candidal vaginitis is caused?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: The main clinical manifestations of candidal vulvovaginitis are vaginal itching and curd-like discharge. It can be transmitted through sexual contact and is curable, but it is prone to recurrence. During pregnancy, increased vaginal discharge and changes in vaginal pH make it easier to develop candidal vulvovaginitis.
Recommendations: It is recommended to rinse the external genitalia with sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by treatment with Kaninjin vaginal suppositories. Underwear should be disinfected and exposed to sunlight.
