How should candidiasis be treated?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. It was found that I had a fungal vaginal infection. Worrying about my health, I'm wondering how to treat a fungal vaginal infection?

Doctor's answer:

The main clinical diagnostic features of candidal vulvovaginitis are variable changes in external genital ulcers, leukorrhea, itching, and burning pain. Sexual pain is also common. When the infection affects the urethra, it may recur with dysuria and urinary urgency. Common types of vaginitis include bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, fungal vaginitis, atrophic vaginitis, gonococcal vaginitis, and nongonococcal vaginitis. Symptoms include external genital itching, even purulent pain, vaginal burning pain, more obvious urination, increased urinary frequency, urinary and sexual pain, lower abdominal adhesions, white curd-like discharge, white pseudomembranes covering the vaginal walls, and red mucosa after wiping.
