Hello, thank you for your response. I have another question. So, is it also a fungus that causes a burning sensation in the vagina after drinking champagne? What else could it be if it's not a fungus?

Hello,
I'm sorry, I only just saw the question now.
If you experience a burning sensation after drinking champagne, I can't explain it medically, but women often report noticing a change in symptoms with yeast infections and urinary tract infections after consuming alcohol. It may be related to the fact that alcohol can cause blood vessels to expand or that the pH balance in bodily fluids changes. I can't really explain it, but there seems to be a connection.

Kind regards,
Dr. Schaaf
