Genital fungus
Genital fungus is the cause of genital yeast infections. Yeast infection can spread to other parts of the body. It can cause life-threatening systemic infections mostly in people with weakened immune defenses.
Approximately 75% of all women have had at least one genital yeast infection in their lifetime. Genital fungus is not considered a sexually transmitted disease, but 10% to 15% of men will develop symptoms such as itching and penice rash after sexual contact with an infected partner.
The following increase the risk of a genital fungal infection:
- steroid use;
- birth control pills: changes in the vaginal environment occur with increased hormonal levels from estrogen-containing birth control pills. This change creates an environment for the fungus to grow and cause symptoms;
- antibiotics use;
- diabetes;
- hormonal changes ( ovulation, menopause, pregnancy);
- weakened immune system;
- use of douches, perfumed feminine hygiene sprays.
