How to use medicine for fungal vaginitis?

The vagina is a female-specific organ and the main site of sexual intercourse. Since it is in direct contact with the male reproductive organs, it is very easy to cause bacterial infection and cause women to suffer from vaginal diseases. Many women contract gynecological diseases and their health is damaged due to unclean sexual behavior. Today I will tell you some common knowledge about candidal vaginitis.

Candidal vaginitis or candidal vaginitis, also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis, is a common and frequent vulvovaginal inflammatory disease caused by Candida albicans. Candida albicans is a conditionally pathogenic bacterium. 10% to 20% of non-pregnant women and 30% of pregnant women have this fungus parasitic in their vagina, but the amount of bacteria is small and does not cause symptoms. Vaginitis symptoms will only occur when the systemic and local vaginal immunity decreases, especially the local cellular immunity decreases, and Candida albicans multiplies in large numbers.

The typical symptom of candidal vaginitis is vulvar itching, and the itching symptoms vary from mild to severe, and come and go. When the itching is severe, the patient will be restless and unable to sleep or eat. When the inflammation is severe, urination pain and sexual intercourse pain may also occur. Increased vaginal discharge is another major symptom of this disease. The vaginal discharge is usually thick and appears to be dregs or curd-like.
