Vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy may result from the following causes:
1. Prolonged exposure to unfavorable environmental conditions, such as excessive humidity or warmth.
2. Poor personal hygiene, including frequent use of low-quality underwear.
3. Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), without timely and effective treatment. Active treatment is recommended.
