A fungal infection of the vagina is usually caused by Candida albicans. A candida infection is considered an endogenous infection because Candida is normally present in the vagina. Itching, burning urination and white discharge are the main symptoms of Candida vaginal infection (soor vaginale). Canesten is very efficient in treating Candida infection. An acute vaginal Candida infection is usually treated with Canesten-vaginalets (pills that are put inside the vagina) and cream. But these tablets are prescribed by a gynecologist.

In your case, the fungal infection could be chronic. In cases of chronic fungal infections, a microbiological examination is requested to isolate the fungus-type and to check its sensitivity to various antifungal drugs. In addition to local therapy, systemic (oral) therapy is also requested. You can consult your gynecologist about the symptoms in order to have a thorough and precise diagnosis.
