Candida albicans vaginitis, also known as vulvovaginal pseudomycosis, is a type of vaginitis caused by Pseudomonal yeast infection, which may lead to vulvovaginal itching and increased vaginal discharge, and is treated mainly with antifungal medications.
Vulvovaginal pseudomycosis results in significant vulvovaginal itching that lasts for a long time and is more pronounced at night, with some patients experiencing burning pain in the vulva, pain during intercourse, and pain during urination. The vaginal discharge is characterized by a white, thick, curd-like or tofu-like consistency.
Vulvovaginal pseudomycosis is often treated with azole antifungal drugs, which can be used locally as clotrimazole preparations, miconazole preparations, and mycotoxin preparations. For unmarried women who are not suitable for topical medication, oral fluconazole can be chosen.
Patients with vulvovaginal pseudomycosis should go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations, and carry out standardized treatment in time under the guidance of the doctor. The use of the above drugs should be in accordance with medical advice.
