Patient's question:
Recently, I haven't been feeling well, and I've been experiencing some pain and itching in the vaginal area. The doctor said it's vaginitis. I've been trying to conceive recently. Hello, can candidal vaginitis cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis or vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common and easily transmitted vulvovaginal inflammatory disease caused by Candida. It can be transmitted between individuals without the use of any barrier measures. Therefore, your symptoms may also be due to Candida transmission. Candida is also known as Candida albicans, which is part of the normal human microbiota. It can cause disease when the body's or local immune defenses are weakened. Treatment options include rinsing or soaking with a 2-4% sodium bicarbonate solution, combined with nystatin tablets.
