Thrush - a fungal infection that can occur for a long time and imperceptibly, but that does not mean that the disease does not cause harm to the body. It occurs very difficult for candidiasis with multiple lesions of the internal organs, including the brain. In order to avoid thrush or treat it in time, it is necessary to know the causes of this disease.

The first reason - a fungal infection

Thrush is a fungal infection, it is the direct cause of the yeast genus Candida, which are almost always live on the surface of the skin and mucous membranes of humans. Therefore, the correct name of thrush - candida (candidiasis) of the external genitalia. But fungi of the genus Candida are opportunistic microflora, which constantly lives on the surface of the genitals of most people without causing disease. The disease caused by this vozduditelem infection can occur only under certain conditions.

The genus Candida is composed of a plurality of fungal species, but often cause candidiasis is Candida albicans, which survive in low temperature drying, but are killed by boiling, exposure to disinfectants (e.g., formalin) and alcoholic solutions (eg iodine), as well as aqueous solutions aniline dyes.

Especially good fungi of the genus Candida develop in a moist environment at body temperature. But outside the human body fungi may also exist, such as the objects and things that come into contact with the patient.

The second reason - low immunity

The fungi genus Candida - a natural component of the pathogenic microflora of man. Especially a lot of them are located in the intestine, which is often the focus of the spread of the infection to other organs and tissues. Nevertheless, the yeast does not develop at all. For the occurrence of thrush must be reduced immunity - the body's defenses, which do not pass into the body, most pathogens. That is why the thrush is more common in children and the elderly. In children, the immune system matures gradually, and in the elderly it is changed due to the decrease of hormonal activity.

Immunosuppression may occur when colds, severe emotional stress How to beat stress? Create an oasis , Prolonged severe physical and neuropsychiatric loads after acute illness or exacerbation of chronic disease, after treatment with corticosteroid hormones or medication cytostatic effect (suppresses the immune system - are used to treat cancer patients).

The cause of yeast infection can be a reduction in local immunity. Such conditions can cause hormonal disturbances Hormonal disorders - oversupply and a lack of equally dangerous For example, reducing the formation of female sex hormones estrogen, which support the development of normal (natural) vaginal flora The microflora of the vagina: purity .

The negative impact on the immune system have endocrine diseases such as diabetes mellitus Diabetes - threatening and incurable disease   (patients because of low immunity are constantly affected bacterial and fungal infections), and tumors of the hypothalamus, hypovitaminosis.

Today thrush often occurs when the wrong antibiotic treatment (usually a self-). In this killed the natural vaginal microflora - lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid, which "does not like" pathogenic and pathogenic microflora. Reduction of deterrence from the natural microflora leads to a rapid proliferation of pathogenic microflora, including a reproduction of fungi of the genus Candida and cause thrush.

To reduce local immunity also result in permanent injury to the mucous membranes of the external genitalia, such as women wearing pants - thong.

Finally, the thrush is always accompanied with reduced immunity diseases - AIDS, cancer after chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and so on.

Infection thrush - is this possible?

Thrush can be transmitted as from a sexual partner, as well as household waste. At the same sexual partner can not hurt thrush but is a carrier of the fungus genus Candida. To catch him, as well as through the objects he used, can only people with reduced immunity.

Thrush can develop in workers vegetable bases as fungi of the genus Candida often live on vegetables and fruits. There may be other ways of infection thrush, as the fungi genus Candida - this is a very common type of microorganisms.

Causes of yeast can vary, and should be identified before starting treatment.

Perhaps one in four women faced with such gynecological diseases like uterine endometrial polyp. During normal pelvic examination can not put such a diagnosis immediately, require additional tests (ultrasound of the uterus, hysteroscopy). After confirming the presence of abnormal formation in the womb necessarily need to be treated, that is to remove a polyp. This is due to the fact that polyps in the uterus Polyps in the uterus - the result of hormonal disorders   fraught with various complications and consequences. Therefore, if such a pathological formation in the womb woman in the event of failure of treatment should be aware of, what is fraught with the disease.

A bit of polyps in the uterus

Polyp endometrial cancer is a pathological entity that occurs most often from the altered uterine lining (endometrial hyperplasia). Uterine polyps protrude above the surface of the mucous membranes and may have a different shape from a few millimeters to several centimeters. There are glandular, glandular and fibrous fibrous endometrial polyps. Polyps in the uterus can be singular or plural. Usually, uterine polyp is diagnosed more often in women of childbearing age, but perhaps his education in menopause and even postmenopause Postmenopause - is it possible to control it? . The occurrence of polyps, doctors explain hormonal disorders in the body. Polyps are dangerous not only because it gives a woman the discomfort, but also its consequences.

Consequences of polyps in the uterus

• Persistent violation of the menstrual cycle

Endometrial polyps in the uterus, as noted above, is caused by hormonal imbalance, which affects the menstrual cycle. The continued existence of polyp leads to irregular menstruation, acyclic and sometimes massive bleeding, as well as to the development of giperpolimenorei (prolonged and heavy menstruation). Regular uterine bleeding not only violate the normal life of women, but it anemiziruyut. Hemorrhagic anemia manifested chronic fatigue Chronic fatigue - if life is not a pleasant experience , Weakness, drowsiness, and occasional fainting.

• Barrenness

Undeleted or undiagnosed uterine polyp causing anovulation due to the hormonal imbalance. The egg is against this background that does not ripen, which deprives the ability of a woman to become pregnant. On the other hand, if you still ovulation has occurred and the egg is mature, met with the sperm (fertilization), it increases the chance of miscarriage at a very early stage of pregnancy. This is due to the fact that the mucous membrane of the uterus is deformed and defective because of the location of the polyp in it that interferes with normal implantation of the fertilized egg.

• Complications of pregnancy

Of course, it is possible and pregnancy with uterine endometrial polyp. But in this case, it increases the risk for pregnancy. In the first place increases the risk of spontaneous abortion (again, this is due to defective endometrium). Secondly, during pregnancy may be bleeding, the cause of which is placenta previa and its detachment. Third, because of the location of the placenta in the polyp disturbed uteroplacental blood flow, which leads to the development of placental insufficiency Placental insufficiency - deviation from the norm , Intrauterine hypoxia, and delayed growth.

• Polyp malignancy

The worst consequence of the polyp endometrial cancer is its degeneration into cervical cancer. Endometrial polyps is considered a precancerous condition and therefore requires speedy deletion. Cancer of the uterus is characterized by persistent bleeding, bloody discharge with an unpleasant odor, appearance of cables and pains. And, of course, uterine cancer, like all cancers, metastasizes to other organs, which not only worsens the condition of women, but also accelerates its destruction.

• The birth of the polyp

Endometrial polyps are large and have a leg fraught with complications such as birth education. The symptom is severe cramping abdominal pain and profuse uterine bleeding. This situation is considered an emergency and requires immediate loosening nascent polyp or removal of the uterus.
