Attention to vaginal infections

It is one of the most frequent reasons for consulting gynecologist.And precisely in the face of summer the incidence increases considerably.

In its origin is an imbalance of vaginal flora, a moment that can take advantage of bacteria and fungi to proliferate and cause infection.According to specialists, women must be aware that it is easy for the infection to be repeated, because the alteration of vaginal flora is not easily or quick.

Symptoms

The reason why you go to the doctor is precisely because of the most general symptom of infection: itching, stinging, discomfort in the area and especially when urinating.It can come from a bacterial vaginosis or, what is most likely, of a candida mycosis or candidiasis.(It should be known that candid infection can be very general and can occur in the skin, in the mouth or in the esophagus, causing painful esophagitis and that it can even make swallowing swallow.In some cases it can endanger the patient's life.The problem of these candidiasis is that they are usually produced in patients who have a committed immune state).

Vaginal candidiasis

It is one of the most frequent and its incidence has increased in recent decades.It is estimated that the presence of candidiasis in the female sector is three times greater than twenty years ago due to the abuse of antibiotics and the use of oral contraceptives.

Atención a las infecciones vaginales

One of the symptoms that can bring women to consultation are annoying itching and a whitish flow.They are symptoms shared with other vaginal conditions.But it is usually how the presence of the candida albicans shows.

Against what is often believed, it is not necessarily transmitted by sexual contact.It must be very clear.Many patients tend to think that it is her husband who has brought the infection home, "imported" from some channel in the air.And it is not like that.

Normally, the male is not treated simultaneously when the vaginal infection reappears after treatment.It is understood that the male organ is not an adequate reservoir for the fungus, while that of women does have the characteristics to keep it in a latent state.The treatment is effective, although gynecologists usually comment that the patient's impatience almost always occurs, precisely because although effective, it is not as fast as they would like.

To do

Specialists try to establish preventive standards that pass, for example, to avoid prolonged dampness of the swimsuit;or not use excessively tight pants frequently.

As for the underwear, use the cotton, flee from synthetic fibers and change it daily.

Vaginal showers do not seem recommended and a neutral soap washing is advised.Intimate deodorants must be ruled out at this stage and in general everything that can vary the acidity of the vagina and that, therefore, can facilitate the proliferation of fungi.

Why fungi parasitize us

It depends on many factors.It is true that the organism has its protective shield such as the acid mantle of the skin and fat, which prevents the action of these microorganisms;But of course, as soon as the natural balance of that protective layer breaks, the fungus does not hesitate to seek its survival at our coast.Of that we must be aware: that it is the imbalance that facilitates the infection.PORSO, can arise both due to deficit hygiene, as well as excess hygiene.It also favors the use of soaps or cosmetics that are too aggressive that weakens the function of the skin glands.

And precisely, heat and humidity favor the appearance of these mycosis especially in skin friction areas.Humidity retained in clothing, footwear and synthetic materials facilitates infection.
