Symptoms of CANDIDA VAGINITIS
Candida vaginitis produces a thick, white, curdy vaginal discharge, resembling cottage cheese. Although the odor associated with this type of infection may be unpleasant, it is not foul smelling. The outer and inner portions of the vagina may become red, swollen and tender. Itching of the vaginal lips and surrounding skin occurs. Painful or burning urination develops from irritation of the urethra and vagina. The inflammation causes the vagina to appear red and irritated, rather than the normal pink color. Painful sexual intercourse often occurs.
