What are the clinical manifestations of fungal vaginitis?

There are many types of vaginal inflammation in women, among which fungal inflammation is very common. It is like a shadow that cannot be shaken off, and it recurs repeatedly despite repeated treatments. The sexual life of couples is often affected by this disease, causing great suffering. So women must have a lot of things they want to know about this kind of gynecological disease. Now let us take a detailed look at some of the clinical symptoms of this kind of gynecological disease.

Patients with candidal vaginitis present with increased leucorrhea, itching and burning sensation of the vulva and vagina, painful urination, redness and edema around the vulva, and various epidermal changes. Very shallow vesicular papules may occur in groups. Eczematous erosions may also form, which are limited to the vulva or extend to the surrounding areas, completely similar to acute or subacute eczema. The mucosa near the labia and clitoris thickens, and the skin surfaces that contact each other become flushed and eroded. In some cases, tiny white pustules may occur, and in severe cases, ulcers, vulvar pain and local lymphadenopathy may occur.

Leucorrhea is not necessarily a prominent symptom of vaginitis, but watery leucorrhea can range from curd-like to ointment-like. Some are completely thin like clear serous exudate, while others are thick like curd or crumbs. About half of the patients have a large amount of watery or purulent leucorrhea without white flakes. The vaginal mucosa is moderately red and edematous, without severe itching or burning, only a feeling of moisture in the vulva. Another type of patient has typical curd-like or flaky, sticky vaginal discharge, highly red and swollen vaginal mucosa, with white flaky films (such as thrush) attached that are easy to peel off; underneath is an eroded base of damaged mucosa or shallow ulcers. In severe cases, ecchymosis may be left behind, with severe itching and burning sensation. During pregnancy, the itching symptoms of candidal vaginitis are more severe.
