How should candidal vulvovaginitis be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Now, every time I go to the bathroom, it causes pain. I don't know what's causing this, and I'm now looking to ask here how to diagnose and treat candidiasis vaginitis?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis. Your condition can be treated by using a 2% to 4% baking soda solution to rinse the vagina once or twice daily, with a 2-week course being one treatment. After rinsing, dry the external genital area and keep it dry at all times. You can also apply clotrimazole cream or miconazole cream externally to treat vulvitis caused by fungal infection and reduce symptoms of itching and pain. Apply the cream several times daily and use it for 2 weeks. Eucerin cream is based on econazole and contains a very small amount of topical steroid, which has good effects in reducing swelling and relieving pain.
There are several treatment methods for candidal vaginitis, but since symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms appear.
