Patient's question:
Today I went to my friend's house, and I saw that she was getting an intravenous drip. She told me that she had a fungal vaginal infection, with symptoms of vaginal itching. After I got home, I remembered that I also have itchy symptoms. What are the symptoms of a fungal vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis include the following: increased vaginal discharge, painful urination, burning sensation, swelling, and pain during intercourse. In severe cases, patients may experience recurrent skin breakdown during intercourse. If these symptoms are present, it should be considered as candidal vulvovaginitis. Patients should seek proper medical treatment at a hospital, as otherwise, other infections may develop. When facing the impact of vaginitis, patients should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
