Hello, It is highly likely that you have candidal (fungal) vaginitis, which is primarily caused by a fungal infection. We recommend visiting a hospital for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Treatment must be targeted—do not use anti-inflammatory medications indiscriminately. During treatment, please maintain strict personal hygiene: keep the genital area clean and dry, change and wash underwear frequently, and abstain from sexual intercourse. Medications such as nystatin or miconazole vaginal suppositories may be prescribed—please select and use them only under your physician’s guidance. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health and happiness!
