RVVC is a significant burden, both economically and for women's health, but its prevalence is poorly documented globally due to the levels of self-treatment. Identifying triggers for development and recurrence of VVC and the pathogenesis of the microbes involved could considerably improve prevention and treatment options for women with recurrent, azole-resistant cases.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis today is one of the most pressing problems in the field of women’s health. However, the prevalence of Candida with formed drug resistance to fluconazole significantly complicates the treatment of this disease. Thus, the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of other antimycotic drugs becomes an important task in the fight against recurrent genital candidiasis. The article presents the data of international and domestic studies on the possibilities of using sertaconazole in the therapy of vulvovaginal candidiasis.
