What tests should be done for fungal vulvitis

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What tests are needed for candidal vulvitis?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal candidiasis, also known as simple vulvovaginal candidiasis, refers to vaginitis caused by the transmission of Candida, primarily manifesting as vulvar itching, burning pain, and, in severe cases, restlessness, urinary urgency, and frequent urination. Detailed examinations are necessary for vaginal candidiasis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for relevant tests to further diagnose the cause and cooperate with treatment. Maintain vulvar cleanliness and dryness in daily life. Avoid scratching, hot water washing, and the use of soap. During infection, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable, loose, and comfortable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods.
