What is candidiasis
Candidiasis is an infection caused by Candida albicans and usually affects the vagina of about 15% of women of childbearing age and about 30% of women with vaginitis
Candidiasis sets in due to disruption of the vaginal balance
It causes an abnormal proliferation of Candida, which is already present inside the vagina and normally helps maintain the vaginal pH.
Particular risk factors include treatment with antibiotics, anticonvulsants or cortisone, the presence of other illnesses such as immunodeficiency or diabetes, frequenting particular environments such as swimming pools, beaches or places with poor hygienic conditions, the overuse of panty liners, tight clothing or overly aggressive intimate cleansers.
The typical symptoms of candidiasis are burning, itching, redness, increased vaginal discharge.
The therapy to be instituted is essentially based on the elimination of risk factors and local pharmacological treatment.
