Candidal vaginitis is treatable and considered a curable condition. It may cause symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, external genital itching, and vaginal burning. For mild cases, local medication (vaginal suppositories) is recommended, typically using antifungal drugs. In more severe cases, oral medication should be added in addition to local treatment. Candidal vaginitis tends to recur, so it is important to complete the full course of treatment.
