Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis is the frequent recurrence of a vaginal yeast infection caused by fungi of the Candida genus. It is called recurrence when the episodes come back several times over the course of the year, which can affect daily well-being.

Common symptoms: Itching, burning, redness, and vaginal discharge that looks different from usual, which tend to return after periods without discomfort.

Which specialist treats it? The OB-GYN is the professional who evaluates this type of condition and studies why the episodes keep recurring.

When to seek care? When the discomfort returns frequently or does not resolve, a professional evaluation that considers each case individually and clarifies the factors involved is advisable.
