Patient's question:
I have had vaginitis for more than four months, with itchy external genitalia that has not been treated yet. Initially, it was a fungal vaginitis.Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a type of vaginitis caused by a fungal infection. Symptoms include intense itching of the external genitalia, which may even lead to ulcers and pain. There is also burning pain in the vagina, which is more pronounced during urination. The discharge is creamy or cottage cheese-like, and the vaginal walls are covered with white pseudomembranes. After wiping, the mucosa appears red. Treatment primarily involves local vaginal (flushing) and medication, such as using baking soda solution or Daktarin vaginal suppositories. At the same time, personal hygiene should be maintained, and tub baths should be avoided to reduce transmission and infection.
