Vaginal itching and discharge that resembles cottage cheese - what could be the cause?

Patient's question:

Sometimes there is external itching, and the discharge is a bit like bean curd in texture.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is likely a case of candidal vulvovaginitis. You can use a 2%-4% sodium bicarbonate solution to rinse the vagina. Additionally, you can choose from miconazole suppositories, clotrimazole suppositories or tablets, nystatin suppositories or tablets, and other medications to be inserted into the vagina. If the effect is not satisfactory, itraconazole, fluconazole, or ketoconazole can be taken orally.
The occurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis not only affects the patient's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
