This disease mainly affects women. According to medical statistics, at least half of all women at least once in their lifetime have had this disease. The pathogenic agent of candidosis is a part of the normal microflora of an organism. When your body is weak in health, a favorable condition is created for development of various pathogenic microorganisms, since the immune system is unable to fight against them.
