Patient's question:
In the past two days, my attention hasn't been focused when I get off work. I always feel itchy near my vagina and keep wanting to scratch it, but it's embarrassing to do so in the office. During intimacy with my husband, there were some blood streaks, and my discharge turned yellow. What should I do if I have a fungal vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
General symptoms of candidal vaginitis include a discharge that resembles cottage cheese. Additionally, symptoms such as itching in the vagina and surrounding tissues may recur. Based on the description you provided, it is likely that you have candidal vaginitis. However, for a definitive diagnosis, it is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination of vaginal discharge at a hospital. If it is indeed candidal vaginitis, local medication treatment is generally more effective. It is also important to prevent cross-infection.
