How is candidal vulvovaginitis best treated?

Patient's question:

Vaginal itching. There's a lump, no other symptoms. 7 days of past treatment and effectiveness: Acidic agents helped. Self-healing with effective medication.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, candidiasis of the vagina is mainly caused by fungal infections, so the treatment is mostly topical medications. For example, creams like clotrimazole, vaginal suppositories like miconazole, and nystatin have good effects. Additionally, using baking soda powder mixed with warm water to create a 3% solution for cleaning the affected area is also a good method. If the inflammation is severe, oral medications such as ketoconazole or fluconazole can be used, preferably under the detailed guidance of a doctor.
