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 cold drafts. What should I do about candidiasis vaginitis with foul-smelling discharge?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I suggest you carefully check your routine vaginal discharge. The most common symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis are external genital itching and a significant increase in vaginal discharge. The itching symptoms of patients can vary in intensity and frequency. The itching caused by candidal vulvovaginitis is generally more pronounced than that caused by trichomoniasis. Severe itching can make it difficult for patients to sit or lie down, causing restlessness and disturbed sleep and appetite. Patients may also experience vaginal burning sensation, especially during urination. In more severe cases, symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and dyspareunia may reappear. An increase in vaginal discharge is another major symptom of this condition. The discharge is usually viscous, either white or yellow, and may also be thin. Typical candidal vulvovaginitis discharge appears like cottage cheese or curd-like.
