Frequency of Vaginal Candida in Diabetes Patients – Overview

Aim/objective: The aim of the article is to identify the frequency and prevalence of vaginal candida in diabetes patients. Background: Rising blood sugar levels in patients increase the risk of various diseases and increase health problems. Possible long-term effects include damage to the macrovascular and microvascular vessels, which can lead to vascular diseases, including heart attack, stroke, and problems with the kidneys, eyes, gums, legs, and nerves. In addition to vascular damage, diabetes causes bacterial and fungal infections, among which we often find infection caused by Candida. Fungal disease of the genitals is one of the most common pathologies today, the development of which can be facilitated by both external - exogenous and internal - endogenous factors. Design and Methods: The article is based on secondary research and is limited to descriptive analysis. Results and Conclusions: Increased blood sugar levels as a result of diabetes affect the whole body and not just the blood. Elevated blood sugar appears in the mucous membranes of the vagina and vulva, so they are an excellent means of cultivating yeast. Properly managed diabetes is the only correct way to prevent recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.
