Vaginal candidiasis, commonly known as a yeast infection, is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans overgrowth in the vaginal environment. It commonly affects women of reproductive age but may occur at any age. Predisposing factors include antibiotic use, high-sugar diet, hormonal fluctuations (pregnancy, oral contraceptives), immunosuppression, diabetes, and poor hygiene. Clinical manifestations include intense itching, burning, soreness, white curd-like discharge, redness and swelling of the vulva, dysuria, dyspareunia (pain during intercourse), and sometimes odorless discharge. Recurrent infections are common, leading to chronic discomfort and emotional distress.

Homeopathy treats vaginal candidiasis by addressing both local symptoms and systemic predisposition to fungal overgrowth. Remedies are selected based on the characteristics of discharge, associated sensations (itching, burning, soreness), aggravating and relieving factors, and the patient’s constitution and emotional state. Treatment aims to relieve local irritation, reduce discharge, prevent recurrence, improve immunity, and restore vaginal flora balance.
