Online published: 2024-08-26
Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis is a prevalent condition among women of reproductive age, significantly impacting their physical and mental well-being due to its recurrent nature and challenging treatment. The etiology remains elusive, while treatment options exhibit considerable variability. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the pathogenesis and therapeutic approaches targeting virulence factors associated with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, aiming to offer valuable insights for understanding the underlying mechanisms and optimizing treatment strategies.
