One of the complications that diabetic people may present in their health careful in the skin is the presence of fungi such as candida albicans, which causes vaginal candidiasis, an infection of the vagina whose symptoms are the presence of abnormal abnormal flow, painful sexual relations, redness and inflammation of the vulva, and burning and itching on the lips and in the vagina, said Ingrid López, a member of the Mexican Federation of Dermatology.

At a press conference, the expert commented that while this is not a sexually transmitted infection (STIs), in the case of men, eruptions or constant itching in the penis may have when having sexual contact with a partner who has thisfungus.The continuous reinfection of candidiasis could mean the presence of other STIs.

When mentioning that between 25 and 30 percent of people with diabetes they have dermatological problems, the specialist indicated that before the increase in glucose in the human body because of diabetes, organs such as skin are affected because large quantities are lostof water and proteins such as peptides, whose function is to preserve the defenses of the organism and avoid dryness.

He added that diabetes mellitus favors the skin to dry out, lose weight and have a lot of itching in different parts of the body, which can lead to injuries with the constant scratch.In addition, he mentioned, elasticity is lost in the skin and fissures are caused by considerable effort.Both factors, he considered, cause the skin to reduce its function of external infections and organism.

For López, the most common dermatological problems in these cases are diabetic dermopathy, whose signs are the appearance of ocher or brick marches in the legs or annular faruloma, which is characterized by the emergence of oval or round spots in areas whereThe skin is very thin.

Another is the "blackening" of some parts of the skin such as English, pelvis, armpits and neck that, although more associated with obesity and insulin resistance, must be taken into account as a possible sign of diabetes, sinceBoth obesity and insulin resistance are predisposing factors to the condition, said the dermatologist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

The hands and feet can also be affected by diabetes.In both parts of the body it is common that there is constant redness due to lack of circulation, in addition to a loss of sensitivity to temperature changes that causes an injury to these parts could go unnoticed and with severe complications in case of not being addressedIn time, he mentioned.

To avoid skin complications, the expert recommended that diabetic people adhere to their treatment;In case of observing some anomaly in your body (pain, swelling, redness), immediately go to the specialist;Take a bath and completely dry the body folds (armpits, English and neck);avoid scratching scabs;Be careful when cutting hands and feet and using cream and soap without perfume.

Figures of the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012, conducted by the National Institute of Public Health, revealed 6.4 million Mexicans suffer from diabetes, a condition that is the first cause of death in the country with a prevalence of 18 percent, since 9.42Mexicans of every 100,000 suffer from it.

I recommend that you make annual reviews with the gine, apart, of course they have to look at what happens to you, since it is not normal ... Can't you make an appointment with the gynecologist directly?Or you see emergency one day, to see if they can derive you, and more with the theme of diabetes, they will give you safe priority ...
Do you have the controls stable?

I don't know why some doctors cost so much doctors for the gynecologist.Recently I had this problem, I told the header ... it took me to the nurse and made me a smear (I think it's called it ... I took a sample, go).He sent me a cream, and a week I went to the results where it was confirmed that I had this.And apart he sent me to the gynecologist ...

You have to try to have glucose levels well (I know it is easy to say ...), and when this happens they usually send a cream (dogs) for the superficial zone, and if it is internal (dogsten ovules) ... it is not necessaryRecipe, and in a few days you are fine.Anyway, they try to see you before doing anything, because they will know how to give you better what you have to give and how much.

Ufff, once you start it is difficult to leave ... I until 2 or 3 years ago not a single infection and since then every 2 by 3. During pregnancy I had to go 8 or more times due to urine infection/fungi ...

Take care of yourself, and if you can afford it, private gine.But ask that the midwife of the health center derives you, they know a lot ...

The fungi before if I had them inmates but now when they go out they are only on the outside (less bad) but my biggest problem is now the cracks that are formed very easily and that is that they have enough I do not know if they would send me any cream fordryness or something.
Mimbeck of the levels I try but you know that this is a little roller coaster hehe
Although with the new endocrine that some changes made to me I think it is much better.
