Vaginal candidiasis in elderly patients is due to immunodeficiency, a decrease in the content of estrogens and the introduction into the vaginal wall of fungal flora.

Antibacterial therapy, diabetes mellitus, chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are provoking factors of this disease. A study of Samara doctors presented at the last Russian congress "Genital infections and pathologies of the cervix uterus" was attended by patients with chronic disease, aged 48-65 years.

All patients had already received outpatient treatment without effect. Specific therapy with fluconazole was carried out together with antihistamines and ozonized autohemotherapy. To correct the hormonal balance ovestin.

After the therapy, all patients noted the disappearance of pain, and laboratory testing did not reveal a pathogen in the vaginal wall. In chronic vaginal candidiasis in women of menopausal age, only local treatment is ineffective. "It is necessary to correct extragenital pathology, the appointment of specific therapy for antihistamines, as well as immunotherapy in the form of ozonized autohemotherapy. Locally, it is advisable to prescribe estrogen-containing drugs to improve the nutrition of the vaginal wall and improve the effectiveness of treatment, "conclude O. Kalinkina and co-authors.
