Patient's question:
I have recently had white, stringy discharge in my vagina, without any odor, occasional itching and stinging. I had it checked at the hospital, and the results said it was candidiasis. What I want to know is what are the symptoms of candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching and vaginal discharge resembling curd-like material are typical clinical manifestations of candidal vulvovaginitis. Diagnosis cannot be made solely based on symptoms; a careful examination of vaginal discharge is necessary to identify the presence of fungi for confirmation. Patients should face the distress of vaginitis, and we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles. Avoid hesitation in seeking medical attention. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
