What is candidiasis

summary

Candidiasis is a highly infectious disease, generally women suffer from more, and it is easy to survive, and share the relevant knowledge of candidiasis with you.

What is candidiasis

First of all, candidiasis is a fungal disease caused by Candida, especially Candida albicans. The pathogen can not only invade skin and mucous membrane, but also affect internal organs. The two most common syndromes are mucocutaneous candidiasis (e.g., oropharyngeal candidiasis or thrush, esophagitis and vaginitis) and invasive or deep organ candidiasis (e.g., candidemia, chronic disseminated or hepatosplenic candidiasis, endocarditis, etc.). For most people, candidiasis is a highly infectious disease, and the prevalence rate of women is very high.

Then the pathogen of this disease is Candida, which not only widely exists in nature, but also parasitizes on normal human skin, oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, anus and vaginal mucosa without disease. It is a typical conditional pathogen. Candida albicans is the main pathogen of the disease. It is oval in normal condition and symbiotic with the body. It does not cause disease. In addition, there are a few other pathogenic bacteria in Candida, such as Candida krusei, Candida stellate, Candida tropicalis and so on.

Finally, the pathogenicity of Candida is relative. The source of Candida infection can be exogenous, that is, candidiasis can be infected by contacting external bacteria. Candida infection can also be obtained from the hospital environment, but most of the infections are endogenous, that is, the Candida in oropharynx, digestive tract and vagina. Due to the change of internal and external environment and the decline of human immune function, the normal flora turns into the pathogenic phase and causes infection.

matters needing attention

People with candidiasis should not eat stimulating food in their life, but eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. They should pay attention to bed rest, keep a certain amount of physical exercise, change and wash underwear frequently, and pay attention to hygiene when having sex.
