Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What causes Candida vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candida albicans is the main pathogen of candidal vulvovaginitis, often accompanied by a weakened immune system, extensive use of antibiotics, corticosteroid hormones, immunosuppressants, etc. The main symptoms include congestion, erosion, and a white membrane coating the vaginal mucosa, with a creamy white or yellowish discharge. It may cause itching or mild burning sensation. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's physical health but also leads to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a check-up, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
