Candidal vaginitis is a common type of vaginitis. It can occur when a woman's immune resistance is weakened or under some special circumstances, leading to the onset of candidal vaginitis. Currently, the treatment of candidal vaginitis in clinical practice often involves the use of vaginal medications. The choice of medication mainly aims to inhibit the growth of the fungus. Therefore, antifungal drugs are commonly selected for the treatment of candidal vaginitis. There are many drugs available, and it is recommended that patients undergo examination at local hospitals before treatment. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor)

How long does it take for acute vaginitis to heal?

Acute vaginitis is primarily characterized by purulent discharge or cottage cheese-like discharge, with patients experiencing severe itching in the vulva. Additionally, some may feel a contracting sensation during urination; these are all manifestations of acute vaginitis. The treatment duration for acute vaginitis generally requires seven days, so most can be cured after completing one treatment course. Some individuals might still experience symptoms after one course of medication and may need two courses. Common types of acute vaginitis include yeast vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, and trichomonal vaginitis. These types of vaginitis must be treated promptly when they acutely manifest to avoid progressing to chronic vaginitis, which is more problematic to treat.

Symptoms of yeast vaginitis

The symptoms of fungal vaginitis are quite typical, mainly including vulvar itching, cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge, and a burning sensation of the vulva. The vulvar itching can be particularly severe, sometimes causing restlessness in sitting or lying down. During gynecological examinations, a large amount of cottage cheese-like discharge can be seen in the vagina, and both the vulva and the vagina appear congested. Patients may experience a burning sensation of the vulva while urinating, which is indicative of fungal vaginitis. Common treatments for fungal vaginitis include vaginal medications and oral medications, both of which are very effective, and generally, one course of treatment can lead to recovery.

What are the symptoms of yeast vaginitis?

When women suffer from candidal vaginitis, they will produce a cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge, along with intense itching of the vulva. The itching, especially severe at night, is the most intense among symptoms of vaginitis and can disrupt normal sleep. Moreover, the discharge is thick and adheres to the vaginal walls, making it difficult to expel. There can be congestion and swelling of the vulva due to the poor elasticity of the vulval skin and mucous membrane, which can lead to painful cracking during intercourse. Additionally, the infection can spread to the urethral opening and urethra, causing frequent urination and urgency in women, and it can also be transmitted to men through sexual activity.

Does vaginitis affect menstruation?

Vaginitis does not have a significant impact on menstruation. However, if vaginitis leads to an ascending infection and endometritis, it can cause an increase in menstrual flow, prolonged periods, and irregular vaginal bleeding. Therefore, if you have vaginitis, it is important to seek active treatment. During the treatment of vaginitis, it is essential to avoid sexual intercourse. Engaging in sexual intercourse can lead to cross-infection of vaginitis and make it difficult to cure. It is crucial to maintain hygiene during sexual activities and take care of the vulvar hygiene to reduce the occurrence of vaginitis.
