The common vaginal yeast infection from candida species is called Candida Vaginitis or Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC). Common symptoms include vaginal discharge, itching, painful urinating, and swelling.
It is complementary test to: (1) Aerobic Vaginitis, when vaginal swelling, itching and redness is seen due to growth of certain bacteria; and (2) Bacterial Vaginosis, from too much of certain bacteria causing watery discharge that has fish-like smell but no pain.
Using simple and easy-to-use swabs, the PCR based Candida Vaginitis Test checks for 5 different candida species associated with a vaginal yeast infection.

Vaginal infection of the candida yeast are fairly common.
The CDC estimates 75% of all women have a candida infection in their lifetime. Half of them have two or more.
About 10-20% of these are complicated infections that require immediate testing and long-term treatment.
Complicated vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is rare but can cause serious symptoms.
There are three kinds of vaginal infections:
From aerobic or oxygen-loving bacteria causing Aerobic Vaginitis: a vaginal infection with painful inflammation without any strong smell. Treatment includes antibiotics and life style changes (e.g., probiotics).
From anaerobic bacteria (that grow without oxygen, causing Bacterial Vaginosis: infection without any pain but strong smell of rotten fish. Needs antibiotics once growth of certain bacteria is confirmed.
From fungal infection (Candida Vaginitis): extremely painful and irritating, often shows up as thick white discharge without any smell. May require antifungal treatment.
Candida fungal infection can also happen in other parts of the body. A Candida Fungal Infection Test can help check serious infections when the fungus might have reached the bloodstream.
Candida vaginitis is different from bacterial vaginosis or aerobic vaginitis as the later are caused by bacterial infection and need to be treated with antibiotics (not antifungal creams).
Therefore, an at-home candida vaginitis test can help isolate the overlapping symptoms to decide an antifungal treatment or antibacterial treatment.
Symptoms may not always be clear, but they relate to infection of vagina and vulva. A few common symptoms include:
Thick white vaginal discharge.
Inflammation, swelling, redness, and irritation.
Painful burning and itching when urinating.
Discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Candida overgrowth rarely occurs from sex partners. However, douching can make the symptoms worse.
Other underlying conditions, such as diabetes, frequent use of antibiotics, incomplete treatment from past infections, and compromised immune systems might affect the infection.
A vulvovaginal candidiasis or candida vaginitis test checks for the five different species of candida yeast:
Candida albicans
Candida glabrata
Candida parapsilosis
Candida tropicalis
Candida krusei
