　　Causes of Candida Imbalance in the Vagina

　　female The special physiological structure determines that this part of women is always a troubled area. The vagina is connected to the outside world through the vaginal opening. The surrounding environment includes urethra, anal excretion and glandular secretions. The vagina usually has leucorrhea and menstrual blood. At the same time, it is a passage during sexual intercourse and childbirth. In addition, the vaginal opening is a warm and moist environment, so it is easy to be infected with Candida albicans.

　　In fact, Candida albicans can be found in the mouth, intestines, and vagina of some people, but it does not cause disease. There are many reasons for the disease:

　　1. Sexual infection: if male If you have a Candida infection, you can pass it on to your wife during sex.

　　2. Decreased self-resistance: Although the vagina itself has a self-purifying effect, when this effect is weakened or the pathogenic power of the pathogen is strong, it will cause disease.

　　3. Infection caused by public bathing equipment: Using public bathtubs, bath towels, etc. that are not strictly disinfected can allow Candida to find a home again and cause infection.

　　4. Underwear can cause infection: Newly bought underwear can be easily contaminated by various bacteria during the transportation process. If you wear it without cleaning it after buying it, it can also easily cause infection. Some people like to wear tight underwear, and the underwear is not made of pure cotton, which makes the vulva moist and airtight, creating a favorable environment for the growth of Candida.

　　5. Diabetic patients and pregnant women: Their vaginal epithelial glycogen and acidity increase, which makes it easy for Candida to grow.

　　6. Sanitary pads and sanitary napkins cause trouble: Some people use sanitary pads or sanitary napkins and only change them every few hours or a whole day, creating a favorable environment for the growth of Candida. In addition, some substandard sanitary napkins and sanitary pads have entered the market, or even qualified sanitary products may be contaminated due to lax packaging, making them susceptible to infection after use.

　　7. Frequent or long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics: Antibiotics destroy the restrictive relationship between vaginal flora, causing Candida to invade and grow vigorously.
