Brief Answer:
Vaginal candidiasis likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The symptoms you are describing are suggestive of vaginal candidiasis or fungal infection.
You should get yourself examined by an OBGYN specialist to confirm the candidiasis and get antifungal treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Recurrence not necessary

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, sometimes vaginal candidiasis can occur spontaneously. It is not at all necessary to have candidiasis with each shaving episode.
Candida infection in the urine can also lead to vaginal infection.
