Candidal Vaginitis treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Candidal vaginitis, also called vaginal candidiasis, is a common infection caused by the overgrowth of a Candida-type fungus that normally lives in the body in small amounts.

Common symptoms: Itching or burning in the genital area, redness, discomfort during urination or intercourse, and a thick, white discharge.

Contributing factors: Hormonal changes, moisture, certain prior treatments, and disruptions in the natural balance of the vaginal flora.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who evaluates candidal vaginitis and confirms its origin, since other conditions can produce similar symptoms. If the discomfort recurs or doesn't ease, it's worth having it reviewed in a consultation for a proper evaluation.
