Vaginal candidiasis is an opportunistic infection caused by fungi and is prone to recurrence.
Characteristic symptoms include itching of the vulva, increased vaginal discharge, and changes in its consistency.
If the infection recurs, it is important to treat it promptly with a vaginal candidiasis medication. If you are using an over-the-counter medication, consult a gynecologist if your symptoms do not improve after 3 days or if they do not disappear after 6 days.
