Does vaginal discharge from candidal vaginitis contain blood?

Candidal vaginitis usually does not cause blood in the vaginal discharge, but if blood is found in the vaginal discharge, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible to avoid delaying the diagnosis of the underlying cause.

Candidal vaginitis is a common gynecological disease caused by fungal infection, with typical characteristics of increased vaginal discharge, a texture like curd or tofu dregs, and accompanied by vulvar itching, burning sensation, or local redness and swelling. However, it usually does not directly cause blood in the vaginal discharge. Blood in the vaginal discharge may indicate other problems, such as cervical erosion, chronic cervicitis, or cervical polyps, and may also be related to hormone fluctuations before and after menstruation and local damage.

If you are experiencing the typical symptoms of candidal vaginitis, you can treat it with antifungal drugs, such as topical vaginal suppositories or oral medications, which usually quickly relieve the discomfort. At the same time, good hygiene habits are essential, such as avoiding tight or non-breathable underwear, changing and washing underwear frequently, and choosing cotton fabrics to keep the area dry and avoid mold growth. However, once bloody vaginal discharge appears, especially with odor, abdominal pain or irregular bleeding, you need to be alert to deeper cervical or uterine lesions.

In this situation, do not delay and seek medical examination and diagnosis as soon as possible, and truthfully describe your symptoms and medical history to the doctor. The doctor may arrange a gynecological examination or cervical smear screening according to the actual situation to clarify the cause of the disease, and give a personalized treatment plan in time to prevent the disease from getting worse or misdiagnosis.
