The main symptom of fungal vaginitis is obvious vulvar itching, which tends to last for a prolonged period and may cause significant restlessness in patients. Additionally, patients may experience a burning sensation in the vulva, pain during intercourse, changes in vaginal discharge, and redness and swelling of the vulva. Once the above symptoms appear, it is important to seek medical attention at a hospital as soon as possible.
