Complications of Vaginal Candida

For some women, vaginal candida is a relapsing / recurring condition , that is, it recurs from time to time; this situation is not serious from a clinical point of view, but it can have significant repercussions on the quality of the patient's sexual life.

• Furthermore, if it affects women in a state of immunosuppression or with particular diseases (eg diabetes), vaginal candida can degenerate into a systemic condition, known as invasive candidiasis (or invasive candida ).
• Invasive candida is the infection resulting from the passage of the fungus Candida albicans ( fungemia or funghemia ) into the blood and its spread to important organs, such as the heart ( endocarditis ), the brain ( encephalitis ), the eyes ( endophthalmitis ) or the bones ( osteomyelitis ).
• Invasive candida can be fatal for the patient, therefore it represents a medical emergency, which must be given immediate help.
