HRT and Candida

The study involved 149 women with an average age of 62. Vulvovaginal candidiasis was found in 49 per cent of those on HRT and in 1 per cent of those not on HRT. Of those with Candida and on HRT, most had suffered from recurrent or chronic infection before menopause. (J. Low Genit Tract Dis 2011;15.263–267, Fischer G et al)
