    Genital candidosis, a common yeast infection, affects 28% of new patients. It is not linked to oral contraceptives but may be associated with other genital infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Genital candidosis is a prevalent condition affecting women's health.
    • Understanding risk factors for genital candidosis is crucial for effective management.
    • The association between oral contraceptive use and genital candidosis requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of genital candidosis in new genitourinary clinic patients.
    • To determine the association between contraceptive methods, particularly oral contraceptives, and genital candidosis.
    • To explore potential links between genital candidosis and other genital infections or conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 1363 new patients from three genitourinary clinics were analyzed.

  • Data on contraceptive method, presence of genital candidosis, and other genital infections were recorded.
  • Statistical analysis was performed to identify associations between variables.

    • Main Results:

    • Genital candidosis was diagnosed in 28% of the studied patient population.
    • No significant association was found between oral contraceptive usage and the presence of genital candidosis.
    • Genital candidosis showed a higher likelihood of association with non-specific and viral genital infections.

    Conclusions:

    • Oral contraceptive use does not appear to be a significant risk factor for genital candidosis.
    • Other genital disorders, including non-specific and viral infections, may play a role in the development of genital candidosis.
    • Further research into the interplay between genital infections and candidosis is warranted.
