Patient's question:
A woman is 22 years old this year. I have also been treating this disease and taking medication, but it has not improved. I am very frustrated. I have tried many methods, but nothing has worked. Please ask: What are the differences between bacterial vaginosis and yeast vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis and candidal vaginitis have different causes first. Bacterial vaginosis is caused by bacteria, while candidal vaginitis is caused by Candida albicans. Secondly, the symptoms are different. In bacterial vaginosis, there is an increase in vaginal discharge and slight itching of the external genitalia, but in candidal vaginitis, there may be a recurrence of cottage cheese-like discharge, severe itching, and pain during intercourse. Generally, severe candidal vaginitis is relatively more difficult to treat.
