Patient's question:
Doctor, my wife has got a fungal vaginitis, I'm a bit worried, so I want to consult a doctor. What's the difference between fungal vaginitis and bacterial vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by a fungal infection, which can lead to increased vaginal discharge and symptoms of itching and discomfort. Bacterial vaginosis is often caused by anaerobic bacterial infection. If a fungal infection is detected through examination, appropriate antifungal medication should be used for treatment. Regardless of which type of vaginitis is present, medication should be taken as prescribed by a doctor. During treatment, avoid consuming irritating foods to help alleviate symptoms of itching and discomfort.
