Patients with candidal vaginitis may experience persistent watery vaginal discharge. This symptom is likely caused by a fungal infection in the vaginal area, which can damage the vaginal mucosa and lead to increased vaginal secretions—thereby triggering the aforementioned symptoms. Treatment should be carried out under a physician’s guidance, using appropriate antifungal medications such as clotrimazole vaginal suppositories.
