Yeast infections in women is characterized by the presence of several clinical variants. Each of them has its own characteristics of the clinical picture, which helps in the differential diagnosis and diagnosis. Symptoms of yeast infection in women evaluated during physical examination. According to the current classification distinguishes acute and chronic forms of the disease. To separate clinical forms should be classified kandidonositelstvo form.

What distinguishes the various options for thrush

Most often in practice faced with severe forms of the disease. Episodes of acute vaginal candidiasis lesions during life is celebrated almost seventy-five percent of women. The percentage of chronic forms, which differ persistent recurrent course, is twenty percent.

Each of the forms of thrush different features of their clinical picture. In the acute form is dominated by symptoms of acute inflammatory process with a pronounced local symptoms. The most common complaint - a profuse discharge from the genital tract. It changes their color, texture and smell. Selections can be filmy, thick and creamy, flaky, in some cases, watery. It appears blurred sour smell, which is specific for yeast. The most typical local symptoms are redness, swelling, presence of lesions on the skin and mucous membranes, which are accompanied by intense burning, itching and scratching. In some cases, this may lead to disorders of the nervous system (insomnia, neurosis).

Thrush, which occurs in the chronic form, characterized by less intense symptoms and lower incidence of lesions from the genitals. In this situation, dominated by developments related to the duration or the duration of the disease, ie, atrophic processes in the tissues. The disease occurs with periods of exacerbation and remitting inflammatory process, with the frequency of exacerbations can be up to four times a year or more. From the clinical symptoms of the disease should be noted the presence of scant vaginal discharge Vaginal discharge: normal or disease? And unexpressed redness, swelling of the vulva, vagina.

Can occur without symptoms of thrush

There is a separate form of thrush, which is characterized by the absence of any complaints or clinical symptoms. This form is called kandidonositelstvo. In this case, the diagnosis can be established only on the basis of the results of microbiological studies. Reliable indication of the presence of yeast is the detection of small amounts of yeast-like fungi (their budding forms) and the lack of pseudomycelium. If a woman shows signs of the disease, then we can talk about the transition of yeast in symptomatic form. This occurs under the influence of a variety of adverse factors, both external and internal environment.

It is a mistake to think that the absence of symptoms does not require antifungal therapy. On the basis of a comprehensive study should be treated to prevent the negative effects or complications associated with fungal infection Fungal infection: to prevent and defeat . Pay particular attention should be attributed to the appointment of therapy in preparation for the intervention tool (diagnostic curettage Scraping - heavy and unsafe procedure , Hysteroscopy Hysteroscopy - examination of the uterus inside Surgical manipulation in the area of ​​the cervix), but also upon the occurrence of pregnancy.
