Abstract

Objectives: To ascertain the prevalence of vaginal candidiasis caused by Candida and its associated factors in third-trimester pregnant women at Military Hospital 103. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 386 third-trimester pregnant women at Military Hospital 103. Results: The prevalence of vaginal candidiasis due to Candida in third-trimester pregnant women at Military Hospital 103 was 13.73%. A significant correlation was identified between educational level, a history of gynecological infections, hygiene practices, and sources of medical information with the occurrence of vaginal candidiasis in this population. Conclusion: The rate of vaginitis caused by Candida fungus in women during the last three months of pregnancy is relatively high. Pregnant women who have a high level of education, are pre-pregnancy infection-free, have good gynecological hygiene habits, and have access to information from professional medical sources have a lower rate of vaginal candidiasis than the other group.
