Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been experiencing vulvar itching for several days, and there has been a discharge that looks like cottage cheese. I'm not sure if I'm pregnant, and I want to know what treatment methods should be used in this situation. Thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
Patients with candidal vulvovaginitis present with increased vaginal discharge, itching and burning sensation in the external genitalia and vagina, painful urination, and often redness and edema around the external genitalia. The skin changes can vary widely; they may develop very superficial vesicular papules, or form eczematous erosions. In some cases, small white pustules may appear, and in severe cases, ulcers may develop.
