Zinc-containing Vaginal Gel and Oral Fluconazole for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis.

Vaginitis is one of the most common gynecological problems in women. Candida albicans is responsible for more than 85% of vaginal fungal infections and reinfection after standard treatment is quite common. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of a zinc-containing vaginal gel and oral fluconazole on the treatment and recurrence of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). The investigator\'s hypothesis is that zinc-containing vaginal gel may decrease the rate of reinfection after standard treatment with oral 150 mg fluconazole.
