Abstract

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a common condition that will, at some point, affect three-quarters of all women of reproductive age. It is caused by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. There are a number of situations that make candidiasis more likely, including pregnancy, diabetes, immunosuppression and use of antibiotics. Although many women self-medicate for mild flare-ups, they may seek the help of their GP if symptoms are severe or recurrent. This article aims to review the current evidence in investigating and managing vulvovaginal candidiasis.
