Abstract:

Objective To understand the vaginal fungal infections in non-pregnant women and to analyze its association with other pathogenic microbial infections. Methods The clinical data of 354 non-pregnant women who underwent comprehensive examination of vaginal microbes were retrospectively analyzed, and the differences in the incidence rates of vaginal fungal infections were analyzed under different ages, educational levels, genital hygiene habits, sexual habits and other vaginal pathogenic microbial infections. Results A total of 102 cases (28.81%) of the 354 women were found to have vaginal fungal infections, and 115 fungi strains were isolated, and mainly were Candida albicans, Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis. There was a statistically significant difference in the vaginal fungal infection rates among women with different educational levels, frequency of underwear replacement, habit of hygienic pad, frequency of vaginal washing, application history of oral contraceptives and infection of vaginal bacteria and mycoplasma/chlamydia (P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in vaginal fungal infection rate among women of different ages, underwear materials, frequency of sexual life, condom use habits and vaginal trichomoniasis infection (P>0.05). Conclusion Vaginal fungal infection in non-pregnant women is associated with a variety of factors. It is necessary to carry out systematic and comprehensive health education for the corresponding high-risk groups, and to pay attention to the early screening of fungal infections in patients with other positive vaginal pathogenic microbes.
