AB - Objective: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is an infection caused by Candida species that affects millions of women each year. Vaginal microbiome dysbiosis, pregnancy, hormonal therapy, diabetes mellitus, and immunosuppression are considered contributing factors to its development. More than 90% of uncomplicated VVC cases can be successfully treated with topical agents or a single dose of an oral antifungal agent, whereas recurrent VVC requires long-term maintenance therapy and a systematic treatment strategy. However, even with long-term fluconazole therapy administered once weekly for 6 months, the cure rate at 12 months is only 42.9%, indicating that more than half of women remain uncured.
Case Report: The patient in this case was a Korean woman in her 50s who experienced considerable discomfort and stress that interfered with her daily life due to recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. Although medications prescribed by an obstetrician-gynecologist provided only temporary symptom relief, the condition continued to recur. Therefore, Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) was initiated. As a result, marked clinical improvement was observed, including relief of her discomfort. The patient was subsequently followed for 2 years, during which no recurrence of vulvovaginal candidiasis was observed.
Conclusion: Because this case involved a single patient with a single condition, the applicability of the same OCNT regimen to all patients is limited. However, an appropriately tailored OCNT regimen may be helpful for patients suffering from recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, a condition that can be difficult to cure completely.
