Vaginal candidiasis

 Abdullah Bee: Salam dr, if a non pregnant lady comes with a complain of vaginal pain assoc with whitish dischge n itchiness,,is it most likely to be v.candidiasis?

Im asking this because to know whether v.candidiasis is also common for non pregnen lady

Tq dr

Dr Shaiful Ehsan: Waalaikumsalam....
Its common for woman to have vaginal discharges....
But what becomes pathological if it changes in color, foul smelly, increasing in amount & worsening itchiness...
 So if it is pathological....u have to think of vaginitis....
There are multiple aetiological of vaginitis....
Not only candidiasis...

Candidiasis are common in pregnant lady, diabetic, poor hygiene, immunocompromised....

Normal profile without risk factor not common to have vaginal candidiasis...
Typical history of vaginal candidiasis is thick whitish discharges associated with itchiness....
