According to statistics, about 10% ~ 20% of healthy women with vaginal Candida albicans. In what circumstances will make the Candida albicans pathogenic bacteria do not become a large population?
(1) The extensive use of broad-spectrum antibiotic: in many bacteria and parasites, each of these different plants, often limiting women’s vagina a symbiotic state, this is not pathogenic. A broad-spectrum antibiotics in large-scale, long-term application, vaginal flora disturbances took place between the inhibition of Candida albicans into grow. With the increasingly widespread use of antibiotics, the incidence of fungal vaginitis has also increased.
(2) Pregnancy: in vivo sex hormone levels were significantly higher than normal pregnancy, so that glycogen content vaginal epithelial cells also increased vaginal acidity, and created a good environment for candida growth is high; the same time, pregnancy, immune cells can be lowered to make it more easy to Candida pathogenicity. According to statistics, 1 / 3 of pregnant women with vaginal candidiasis exist, about 15% of morbidity.
(3) Diabetes: diabetes, the body’s glucose metabolism disorder, blood sugar levels of glycogen increase in vaginal epithelial cells increased, a similar increase in vaginal acidity, the growth and reproduction of Candida appropriate.
(4) The application of corticosteroids: long-term application of corticosteroids ability to reduce long-term result in phagocytic function, immune system decline; the same time, corticosteroids can raise blood sugar levels, making the body to improve the possibility of fungal vaginitis.
(5) The application of immunosuppressants: immunity to fall easily fungal vaginitis.
(6) The application of estrogen: estrogen need to glycogen in the vaginal epithelial cells in sedimentation. In the next broken down into glycogen under the action of lactic acid bacteria in the vagina, the vaginal acidity increase is conducive to the growth of candida.
(7) the suffering of seriously ill, so that resistance decrease, or vitamin B deficiency, but also easy to fungal vaginitis.
In addition, some people believe that oral contraceptives increase the incidence of fungal vaginitis.
