It is a very common condition that can affect any woman, regardless of sexual activity.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Route of Transmission<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nCandida typically resides on the skin and mucous membranes of the human body. However, factors such as weakened immunity, antibiotic use, diabetes, or pregnancy can cause it to multiply excessively and lead to infection.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nCandida can also be transmitted through sexual contact, presenting as genital infections like vaginal candidiasis in women or balanitis in men.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Common Symptoms<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nSymptoms of Candida infection vary depending on the affected area:<br \/>\n<br \/>\n-Oral candidiasis (thrush):<br \/>\nWhite patches in the mouth, pain, and altered taste.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n-Vaginal candidiasis:<br \/>\nItching, burning sensation, thick white discharge (resembling cottage cheese), and pain during intercourse.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n-Cutaneous candidiasis:<br \/>\nRedness, itching, rash, and cracked skin.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n-Invasive candidiasis:<br \/>\nFever, chills, and general fatigue, especially in immunocompromised individuals where the condition may become severe.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIf any of these symptoms appear, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for accurate diagnosis and treatment.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Testing and Diagnosis<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nCandida infections are diagnosed based on the location of the infection. For oral, vaginal, or skin infections, a swab from the affected area is examined under a microscope or cultured.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn suspected cases of invasive candidiasis, blood cultures may be performed. However, since sensitivity is low, additional tests such as mannan antigen and anti-mannan antibody detection may also be used.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nDiagnosis considers symptoms, medical history, and risk factors.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Treatment<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nCandida infections are diagnosed based on the location of the infection.
