Vaginal candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. It can affect women of all ages and is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Common symptoms include:
• Itching and soreness around the va**na
• Thick white (cottage-cheese–like)discharge usually without a strong smell
• Burning sensation during urination or in*******se
• Redness and swelling of the v***a
Possible causes and risk factors
* Recent use of antibiotics✅
Antibiotics kill harmful bacteria but they can also reduce the good bacteria that normally keep yeast under control in the va**na. When this balance is disturbed, Candida yeast can overgrow, leading to va**nal thrush.
* Pregnancy or hormonal changes✅
Hormonal changes, especially during pregnancy, can create conditions that allow yeast to grow more easily in the va**na.
* Diabetes or a weakened immune system✅
When blood sugar levels are high, extra sugar is present in body fluids, which helps yeast grow faster. At the same time, a weakened immune system makes it harder for the body to fight it, allowing Candida to multiply and cause va**nal thrush.
* Use of scented soaps or va**nal douching✅
Scented products and douching disrupt the va**na’s natural balance, allowing yeast to grow too much.
* Tight underwear ✅
Tight or non-breathable underwear traps heat and moisture around the va**nal area. This creates a warm, damp environment where Candida yeast can grow more easily, increasing the risk of va**nal thrush.
How to help prevent va**nal thrush👇
• Wear loose fitting, breathable cotton underwear
• Choose loose pants or skirts, avoid tight jeans or leggings for long periods
• Avoid scented soaps, sprays and va**nal douching
• Keep the va**nal area clean and dry
• Take antibiotics only when prescribed 📌
• Maintain good blood sugar control if you have diabetes
