La candidiasis vaginal es mucho mĂĄs comĂșn de lo que se habla. Un metaanĂĄlisis publicado en 2026 en la revista Microbial Pathogenesis, que analizĂł mĂĄs de 1,2 millones de mujeres en 36 paĂses, estima que la prevalencia global de candidiasis vaginal es del 32,59%.
Las cĂĄndidas forman parte de la microbiota vaginal de forma natural, y no es su presencia lo que genera el problema, sino el desequilibrio. EstrĂ©s, bajadas de defensas o cambios en la alimentaciĂłn pueden ser suficientes para que aparezcan los sĂntomas: picor, flujo grumoso o ardor durante las relaciones.
El tratamiento depende de si es puntual o recurrente, y en ambos casos es la ginecĂłloga quien debe valorarlo y pautarlo.

Vaginal thrush is far more common than is generally realised. A meta-analysis published in 2026 in the journal *Microbial Pathogenesis*, which analysed data from over 1.2 million women across 36 countries, estimates that the global prevalence of vaginal thrush is 32.59 per cent.
Candida fungi are a natural part of the vaginal microbiota, and it is not their presence that causes the problem, but rather an imbalance. Stress, a weakened immune system or changes in diet can be enough to trigger symptoms: itching, lumpy discharge or a burning sensation during in*******se.
Treatment depends on whether the condition is a one-off or recurrent, and in both cases it is the gynaecologist who must assess and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
