What are the causes of fungal vulvitis?

Patient's question:

Increased leukorrhea, with a bad odor, appearing as clumps or curd-like. It is accompanied by itching of the external genitalia, especially worsening at night. Are there any fast-acting medications for treatment?

Doctor's answer:

I went to the hospital to ask about what situations can easily lead to mold infections. At that time, the doctor explained it to me patiently, and I will tell you too, so that you can avoid these things:
1. Washing the inner vulva three times or more per week, including various medicinal and non-medicinal washes?
2. During sexual activity, the male did not thoroughly clean the penis, and the male's external genitalia contained a large amount of smegma.
3. Mixing underwear with other clothes, especially socks, and never boiling them for disinfection?
4. Excessive fondness for sweet foods, with blood sugar higher than that of a normal person?
5. Long-term use of estrogen-like hormones or birth control pills?
6. Sharing hygiene utensils among family members and not disinfecting them for a long time?
7. Infection with mold during induced abortion or pregnancy. My reason was long-term use of birth control pills.
