Frequent Recurrent Vaginal Yeast Infection

Frequent recurrent vaginal yeast infection is a condition that affects women's quality of life considerably. Vaginal fungus (Candida) is not a microorganism transmitted from anywhere. It is already found in the vaginal flora. However, if the flora becomes unbalanced for various reasons, candida begins to multiply and complaints occur.

What is the vaginal flora?

Vaginal flora is a microorganism bed that protects the vagina and internal organs against the external environment. In healthy people, these microorganisms live in balance. Predominantly lactobacilli and fungi. Lactobacilli keep the pH of the vagina at an acidic level by producing lactic acid. In this way, harmful pathogens cannot enter the body.

How does a vaginal yeast infection occur?

Vaginal yeast infection occurs when the vaginal flora, which is in balance, changes direction in favor of the fungus. Depletion of lactobacilli often causes this condition.

Factors causing deterioration of vaginal flora

- Use of products that are not suitable for vaginal pH for genital area hygiene- Vaginal shower- Using soap, gel and chemical cleansers to the genital area- Synthetic laundry- Use of antibiotics- Swimming in an unclean pool or sea, standing in a wet bikini-swimsuit for a long time- Use of birth control pills- Diabetes- Consuming excessive amounts of carbohydrates in the diet

What are the symptoms of vaginal yeast infection?

- Itching- Discharge in the form of milk cuts or odorous discharge- Swelling of the inner lips- Pain, burning during intercourse- Burning while urinating

Why does vaginal yeast infection recur?

The reason for its frequent recurrence is that although the treatment for the fungi is given at that time, the fungi will multiply again unless the flora regulation is supported. For this reason, the end of the treatment is relief, but after a while the same complaints start again. The main point that should not be forgotten is the regulation of the vaginal flora.

Treatment of frequently recurring vaginal yeast infections

First of all, the infection should be controlled with antifungal treatments for the fungus. However, various methods are used to support the flora. These; vaginal laser applications, vaginal ozone applications, various suppositories and creams. At the same time, it is essential to regulate its nutrition, which has a great effect on the vaginal flora.

In our practice, the treatment protocol is determined after the examination and the treatment of vaginal yeast infections is applied. Classical antifungal treatments alone are definitely not enough. Patients suffering from this condition need to be handled from multiple perspectives.
