Patient's question:
Vaginal itching, previously had candidal vaginitis, but this time the discharge didn't appear like cottage cheese. Hello, has it flared up again?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is prone to recurring and can be transmitted between partners. Both partners should be treated simultaneously. Candidal vulvovaginitis is a common type of vaginitis, primarily caused by Candida albicans. The main symptoms are itching or burning in the outer vaginal area. During the acute phase, there is an increase in vaginal discharge, which appears as creamy clumps or cottage cheese-like in texture. Pay attention to maintaining vulvar hygiene, avoid cross-infection, use antibiotics and hormones reasonably. The diet should be light, and spicy foods should be avoided for the time being.
