Early symptoms of fungal vaginitis
The early symptoms of candidal vaginitis primarily manifest as an increase in vaginal discharge, accompanied by itching of the vulva, and the discharge may appear curd-like or resembling cottage cheese. Since candidal vaginitis causes noticeable itching of the vulva, which can severely affect the patient's study and daily life, it is necessary to visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge examination when encountering these symptoms. Once diagnosed, under the guidance of a doctor, appropriate alkaline washes can be used to cleanse the vulva, followed by the placement of clotrimazole vaginal suppositories or nystatin vaginal soft capsules for symptomatic treatment. Typically, symptomatic treatment for about a week can lead to recovery. Note that during treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided to prevent worsening of the condition.
