Abdominal pain thrush

Thrush is caused by the fungus Candida, rarely causes complications. However, when running the form of candidiasis may develop an infection on a rising path, and the appearance of pain in the lower abdomen. This requires symptomatology differential diagnosis.

Thrush and abdominal pain

Gynecologists say that thrush is the most common inflammatory disease of the reproductive system. Due to the mechanism of its origin, thrush appears as representatives from age and in young girls. Thrush often combined with other pathologies that cause pain in the abdomen.

Thrush - a fungal nature of the inflammatory process that occurs through increased and enhanced reproduction of the fungus Candida. the term "Candida" is more commonly used in the medical literature. The concept of "thrush" is due to the characteristic manifestations of the disease: white cheesy discharge with odor that resemble soured milk.

The skin and mucous genitals are present in a minor amount microorganisms called opportunistic:

• Candida fungi;
• mycoplasma;
• ureaplasmas;
• streptococci;
• staphylococci.

This flora can cause inflammation and pain in the abdomen only if their active reproduction. Moreover, if there is a favorable environment conditionally pathogenic microorganisms can not only reproduce but also enter into the microbial association. When mixed infection often hurts underbelly appear abnormal discharge.

Healthy vaginal mucosa has a protection mechanism. Under the influence of the sex hormones estrogen on the surface of epithelial glycogen is produced. Lactic acid bacteria that are approximately 95% of the vaginal microflora, cleave glycogen, which is accompanied by the production of lactic acid. This component allows to maintain the necessary acidity that prevents the growth of the number of opportunistic pathogens. Furthermore, colonies of lactobacilli with their metabolic products formed glycocalyx - thin biofilm on a surface. Thus, microorganisms can not penetrate the epithelial thickness.

If the number of lactobacilli decreases, which usually takes place under the influence of various unfavorable factors, the acidity is also changing. Microorganisms are the necessary conditions for population growth. Developing inflammatory processes, in which sometimes hurts the abdomen.

It is noteworthy that if the violation of the microflora slightly, strong immunity may hinder the development of yeast infections and other inflammatory processes accompanied by pain in the abdomen. Thus, yeast can proceed in a carrier. Usually when kandidonositelstvo stomach does not hurt, other features are also absent. Later comes a recovery or candidiasis development.

The only cause of yeast infection is the proliferation of Candida fungi. This occurs due to the following negative factors:

• mucosal injury as a result of which it loses its protective qualities;
• receiving antimicrobials, damaging effects on the vaginal flora;
• children's age, which is characterized by the lack of maturity of the mucosa, local immunity;
• menopause, accompanied by atrophy of the mucous membrane, a change in the properties of the cervical mucus, hormonal imbalances;
• pregnancy and lactation, during periods where there is restructuring of the mucosa, reduced immunity, hormonal fluctuations;
• excessive hygiene, promoting washout of beneficial flora;
• use of unsuitable cleaning agents, often aggressive constituents which cause allergic reactions;
• insufficient and irregular washing genital, which causes the multiplication of microorganisms on skin and mucous membranes;
• dysbiosis vagina and intestine;
• diabetes, leading to accumulation of glucose in the tissues.

Manifestations of yeast depends on the duration of occurrence of inflammation, the presence of opportunistic infections. After its inception, thrush in the acute form occurs within two months with severe symptoms:

• itching, and burning, worse at night, when in contact with water;
• dryness and discomfort during sexual intercourse;

• finely rash;
• hyperemia.

On the lingerie may appear yellow spots, which are formed after drying secretions. Burning, dryness and discomfort are less pronounced.
