Abstract

Candida vulvovaginitis (CVV) is an infection of the vagina or vulva by genus Candida with a variety of clinical manifestations that can occur acutely, chronically or episodically. An estimated 75 percent of women will have at least one episode of vulvovaginal candidiasis and 40 to 50 percent will have two or more, accompanied by vulvar symptoms such as itching, burning, irritation, odor and vaginal discharge. Fluconazole is diverse effective topical azole agents accessible in a variety of formulations for cvv treatment, because they are notably safe and well tolerated. Not many people know the effect of fungi protective in herbal medicinal plants in the treatment of CVV. Cumulative evidence suggests that ayurveda and some Chinese herbal medicines have a beneficial role in slowing the progression of CCV. On the other hand, some Chinese herbal medicines may be hazardous to patients with systemic disease. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the research of some plants herbs for natural pharmacological intervention of progressive CVV diseases.
