Research Progress of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

摘要: 外阴阴道假丝酵母菌病(vulvovaginal candidiasis, VVC)是育龄期常见的妇科疾病，为一种外阴阴道炎症，由假丝酵母菌引发，典型症状为外阴、阴道瘙痒及阴道分泌物变多。VVC及时治疗多可痊愈，若治疗不及时或不彻底，迁延日久，则可能导致宫颈炎、盆腔炎和不孕症等。并且VVC具有发病率高与复发率高的特点，严重影响女性日常生活及心理健康。本文通过检索近年来VVC相关文献，并对其进行归纳分析，总结出目前中西医对于本病的治疗，以期为临床提供新思路。

Abstract: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common gynecological disease among women of childbearing age. It is an inflammation of the vulva and vagina caused by Candida. The typical symptoms include vulvar and vaginal itching, along with increased vaginal discharge. If treated promptly, VVC can usually be cured. However, if treatment is not timely or thorough, it may lead to complications such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and infertility. Moreover, VVC is characterized by a high incidence and recurrence rate, which seriously affects women’s daily lives and mental health. This article reviews and analyzes the relevant literature on VVC in recent years to summarize the current treatment methods in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, with the aim of providing new ideas for clinical practice.
