Are fungal vaginitis and fungal vaginitis the same disease?

Fungal vaginitis and fungal vaginitis are different expressions of the same disease, both referring to vaginal inflammation caused by fungal infection.

Fungal vaginitis is the medical standard name, and fungal vaginitis is the common name among the people. The main pathogenic bacteria are Candida, of which Candida albicans accounts for the majority. Typical symptoms include vulvar itching, tofu-like leucorrhea, and burning pain during urination. Diagnosis requires microscopic examination of vaginal secretions to detect hyphae or spores, and some require fungal culture. Antifungal drugs are the first choice for treatment, such as clotrimazole vaginal tablets, miconazole nitrate suppositories, nystatin vaginal effervescent tablets and other topical drugs. In severe cases, fluconazole capsules can be taken orally. It is necessary to keep the vulva clean and dry on a daily basis, avoid wearing tight chemical fiber underwear, and prohibit sexual intercourse during treatment.

To prevent recurrence, attention should be paid to the rational use of antibiotics and hormones, controlling blood sugar levels, and enhancing immunity. It is recommended to choose pure cotton breathable underwear and avoid frequent use of vaginal douches. If it relapses or is accompanied by other symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly to investigate potential causes such as diabetes. Partners do not need routine treatment, but they should see a doctor together if they experience redness, swelling and itching of the glans.
