Is it easy for fungal vaginitis to recur during gynecological examination?

The fungal vaginitis discovered during gynecological examination does have a certain probability of recurrence, but standardized treatment and daily care can effectively reduce the risk of recurrence. Fungal vaginitis is mainly caused by infection with Candida albicans, manifested as itching of the external genitalia, bean residue like discharge, and other symptoms. Recurrence may be related to factors such as weakened immunity, improper medication, and poor hygiene habits. The recurrence of fungal vaginitis is often caused by incomplete treatment or persistent triggering factors. Some patients stopped taking the medication on their own after the symptoms improved, resulting in incomplete clearance of the pathogen. Long term use of antibiotics may disrupt the balance of vaginal flora and increase the probability of recurrence. When the blood sugar of diabetes patients is not well controlled, the glycogen content in the vagina increases, which is more likely to breed candida. Wearing non breathable synthetic underwear in daily life and not changing menstrual sanitary pads in a timely manner can also create a humid environment and promote fungal growth. Pregnant women have a relatively high recurrence rate due to changes in hormone levels and vaginal environment.

A small number of patients may experience recurrent episodes due to infections caused by drug-resistant strains or mixed infections with other pathogens. People with immune deficiency, such as AIDS patients and those who have used immunosuppressants for a long time, are more likely to have intractable relapse due to the impairment of the body's defense function. Some women have colonization of intestinal Candida, which may lead to recurrent vaginal infections through perianal contamination. In rare cases, failure to receive synchronous treatment from sexual partners may become a hidden source of infection.

It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and use antifungal drugs such as clotrimazole vaginal tablets and miconazole nitrate suppositories for a full course of treatment after diagnosis, and avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. Choose cotton breathable underwear for daily use and change it daily. Wipe from front to back after using the toilet. Reasonably control blood sugar and avoid overuse of antibiotics. If there are more than 4 attacks within a year, basic diseases such as diabetes need to be screened, and if necessary, intensive treatment scheme should be adopted. Regular gynecological examinations can help detect early signs of recurrence.
