What are the symptoms of yeast vaginitis?
Candidal vaginitis, also known as yeast vaginitis, is a common gynecological condition in women. Clinically, the yeast infection manifests as curd-like or cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge. There is significant itching of the vulva. Generally, there is no foul odor. In severe cases of yeast vaginitis, there may be swelling of the vulva and extreme dryness in the vaginal area. Pain during intercourse or bloody discharge after intercourse may occur, which is why it is crucial for patients with yeast vaginitis to seek active treatment at a hospital. The first step in treatment involves going to the hospital to get a lab test of the discharge to confirm a yeast infection. If it is indeed a yeast infection, treatment can be administered according to the medication for yeast vaginitis. Typically, the symptoms can be alleviated after a week of treatment.
