What are the symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

Currently, I am using Miconazole to treat vaginitis, which started in May. Is there a better method?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, candidal vulvovaginitis is primarily characterized by external itching and burning pain, with severe cases causing restlessness and extreme discomfort. It may also be accompanied by frequent urination, dysuria, and pain during intercourse. The most typical symptom is a thick, white or yellowish, cottage cheese-like discharge. The external genitalia and vaginal mucosa are visibly congested and swollen, with numerous white, membranous deposits adhering to them. In severe cases, damaged erosions and superficial ulcers may be observed on the mucosal surface. Treatment is not difficult but must be thorough to prevent recurrence. It is important to change underwear frequently, and underwear and towels should be boiled and exposed to sunlight.
