Vaginal thrush (candidiasis) is an infectious condition characterized by symptoms such as itching, burning, and a thick, white discharge. It is assessed by a health professional, who may use tests like topical or oral azole to confirm the diagnosis. If recurrent, a clinical guideline suggests the use of antifungal treatments. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, especially if symptoms worsen.
