<abstract><p>Candida spp., T.vaginalis infections can cause genital inflammation in women, leading to many adverse effects such as increased risk of infertility and severely impacting the patient&apos;s health and quality of life.Objective: To determine the prevalence of vaginal inflammation due to Candida spp., T. vaginalis infections and identify associated factors. 

Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional research. The research subjects were women of reproductive age (18-49 years old) who visited the gynecology clinic at Hoang Anh Gia Lai University Medical Hospital, Gia Lai province.

Results: The prevalence of vaginal inflammation due to Candida spp., T.vaginalis infection was 26.7% (of which Candida sp. was 99.1% and T.vaginalis was 0.9%). The group using unsanitary water sources had a 1.6 times higher risk of infection (95% CI: 1.1-2.6), and the group that did not regularly undergo gynecological examinations had a 1.8 times higher risk of infection (95% CI: 1.1-2.9). 

Conclusion: The prevalence of Candida spp., T.vaginalis infection was 26.7%, and was associated with the use of unsafe water sources and irregular gynecological checkups.</p></abstract>
