What are the common causes of candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, I developed candidal vulvovaginitis. Could you please ask the doctor what are the common causes of candidal vulvovaginitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, it is more likely that your condition is caused by a fungal vaginal infection. As for whether there is a split trichomoniasis, it needs to be checked by a gynecologist at the hospital for diagnosis. It is recommended to have a routine vaginal discharge test at the hospital for diagnosis. If the infection is caused by fungi, you can use alkaline solutions such as 2~4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to wash the external genitalia and vagina, changing the vaginal pH to make it more favorable for fungal growth. After washing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina.
