Vaginal Candida: symptoms
The vaginal candida is an infection due to a fungus, the Candida Albinas. Usually this fungus is present in the common flora of the host organism but, thanks to the specific characteristics of the environment in which it is found, it does not develop infections.
However, when the vaginal environment changes its state due to internal or external environmental metabolic alterations, the symptoms of candida may develop.
Candida affects the genitals, both male and female, although in men it is more often without symptoms.
In women, on the other hand, it causes irritation, burning, itching, whitish leaks and, in the most serious cases, pain during intercourse, burning during urination .
