Women are very susceptible to various gynecological diseases due to the special structure of their vulva, and itching and abnormal vaginal discharge are typical symptoms. If a woman's private parts are itchy and there is white discharge, it is most likely caused by candidal vaginitis. We must have a full understanding of this disease and make a comprehensive judgment based on our own situation so that we can draw a conclusion. Now let's take a look at the situation of candidal vaginitis.
Candida is a fungus, and the one that usually causes vaginitis is Candida albicans. Candida is not resistant to heat and will die after being heated to 60°C for 1 hour. However, it is more resistant to dryness, sunlight, ultraviolet rays and chemicals. Clinical manifestations The typical symptom of candidal vaginitis is vulvar itching, and the itching symptoms vary from mild to severe, and come and go. When the itching is severe, the patient will be restless and unable to sleep or eat. When the inflammation is severe, urination pain and sexual intercourse pain may also occur. Increased vaginal discharge is another major symptom of this disease. The vaginal discharge is usually thick and appears to be dregs or curd-like. examine Gynecological examination showed that the leucorrhea was white, thick and resembling tofu dregs; the vaginal mucosa was red and swollen, and in severe cases, shallow ulcers were formed in the vagina. The secretion was placed on a 10% KOH slide and the hyphae were found under a microscope. If there are symptoms but multiple microscopic examinations are negative, culture can be used.

Candida albicans is found in vaginal secretions. You can take a small amount of vaginal secretions, put it on a 10% KOH or saline slide, mix it well, and find the hyphae under a microscope to confirm the diagnosis. 10% KOH can dissolve other cell components, and the positive detection rate is 70% to 80%. If there are symptoms but multiple microscopic examinations are negative, culture can be used to confirm the diagnosis.
