What is Vulvo-Vaginal Candidiasis?
Vulvo-vaginal candidiasis is a yeast infection that affects the vagina and vulva. It may cause itching, burning, irritation, redness, discomfort, and abnormal discharge.

Common candidiasis symptoms may include:
- Vaginal itching
- Burning in the vulvo-vaginal region
- Irritation and soreness
- Thick white or curd-like discharge
- Foul-smelling discharge in some cases

Doctor’s Insight
Recurrent vulvo-vaginal candidiasis often needs more than repeated short-term treatment during flare-ups. In long-standing cases, understanding the patient’s recurrence pattern, discharge type, family history, emotional sensitivity, menstrual pattern, and general constitution becomes important.
In this case, improvement was gradual. The early months showed limited change, but with regular follow-ups and medicine adjustments, the frequency and severity of episodes reduced significantly.
