Genital candidiasis, better known as genital mycosis, most often affects women. The cause? Special circumstances such as menstruation, pregnancy or antibiotics. Genital mycosis causes redness and itching. Treatment is usually local.
Genital mycosis is an infection of the genital organs caused by a fungus. It is extremely common, especially in women. The fungus involved is almost always Candida albicans. Infection is most often endogenous, linked to the development of Candida already present in the vagina or on the skin. It can also occur exogenously, through contamination by sexual contact, swimming pools, beaches, etc. However, vaginal candidiasis is not considered a sexually transmitted infection.
