Fungal infection is one of the health problems that may affect women. Causes include excessive use of antibiotics, weak immunity and advanced age.
Symptoms include lower abdominal pain, itching, and burning in the intimate area. To prevent fungal infections in women, Dr. Cornelia Huseman recommended wearing underpants that have good ventilation, for example pants made of cotton or silk. The microbiome (bacteria that live in the intestinal tract) in the intestine also plays an important role in preventing fungal infection.
