Women are prone to gynecological diseases, and usually experience symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge after onset. So female friends should pay attention to the condition of vaginal discharge. If the color of the discharge changes, it has a strange odor, or appears as tofu residue, they should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. So, what should I do if I have white discharge and tofu residue like itching?
If a woman's vaginal discharge appears as tofu residue and is accompanied by itching symptoms, it is a typical symptom of vaginitis, which is likely due to fungal vaginitis. At this time, it is necessary to check in a timely manner. A routine vaginal discharge test can be performed to confirm whether there is a fungal infection.
Fungal vaginitis is a common female disease, mostly caused by Candida albicans infection. Under normal circumstances, Candida albicans can exist in the vagina without causing disease. However, when the female body's resistance decreases and Candida proliferates in large numbers, it is easy to cause infection, and symptoms such as white discharge, tofu residue, and itching may occur.
After routine examination of vaginal discharge, if diagnosed with fungal vaginitis caused by Candida infection, vaginal medication is needed for treatment, which can include suppositories that inhibit mold. During the treatment period, patients must also pay attention to the hygiene and care of the external genitalia. If both husband and wife have problems, it is necessary for them to receive treatment together to avoid cross infection again.
