Recurrent vaginal thrush , causingvaginal dischargeis a problem that many women complain about. The tendency to relapse of mycosis results, among others, from the structure of the female body. The close proximity of the vaginal opening, the urethra and the anus increases the risk of transmitting pathogenic microorganisms to the genitourinary tract.Symptoms of ringwormand vaginal infections include itching, burning, and white vaginal discharge with a curd-like consistency and an unpleasant odor. Burning intensifies after intercourse and when urinating.
Vaginal mycosis often attacks in summer
It happens because of the temperature, when the body is warm and humid - in such an environment fungi or bacteria multiply faster, the most common causes of trouble. You can also become infected with fungi and bacteria during intercourse or while swimming in a swimming pool. How to avoid problems? The natural protective barrier is the vaginal microflora, especially lactic acid rods. It is the lactic acid rods that maintain the acidic reaction to germs, and also produce bactericidal and fungicidal substances. A drop in the number of sticks may open doors for infection.
Causes of vaginal mycosis: antibiotics and poor hygiene
Lactic acid sticks are destroyed by some drugs, especially antibiotics, the decrease in their amount is also caused by errors in maintaining hygiene or excessive care for it (long sessions and irrigations). Hormonal disorders related to menopause, i.e. a decrease in the level of estrogens that promote the production of lactobacilli, also have a negative impact. Each intimate infection must be completely cured, because it may result in serious complications, such as infertility, sepsis. Unfortunately, this type of infection keeps coming back.
