Hi and thank you so much for this query.

From the information you have provided, the results are suggestive of vaginal candidosis. This is an infection caused by candida albicans in the majority of cases. it most commonly presents with vaginal itches and thick curdy vaginal
discharge. Its management is relatively simple with antifungals administered as either oral medications, vaginal ovules, creams, etc. If you have been having this severally, then talk to your doctor s that you both can identify the promoting factors and control the to address future infections.

I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
