Patient's question:
Six months ago, I had a fungal vaginal infection, and after it was cured, I haven't had it again. But this morning, after going to bed, I felt a bit of pain in my outer vagina, and I noticed that my vaginal discharge has been increasing a bit. The symptoms are similar to those of the previous fungal vaginal infection. I just want to ask if it's a fungal vaginal infection again?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vaginitis primarily manifests as increased vaginal discharge, which appears as cottage cheese-like or curd-like. There are various types of vaginitis, and a laboratory test of vaginal discharge is necessary for a definitive diagnosis and additional treatment. If the vaginal discharge is the same as before, it should be candidal vaginitis. It is not a recurrence of candidal vaginitis, but rather a new case of candidal vaginitis. When the immune system weakens, one can again develop vaginitis.It is important to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and wear loose-fitting underwear. Vaginitis is a condition that is difficult to recover from. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating vaginitis and believe that recovery is certain.
