Vulvovaginal candidiasis 

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is not sexually transmitted, but is often found incidentally in women with STIs. Many remedies are available for vulvovaginal candidiasis. One-, 3- and 7-day regimens of intravaginal butoconazole, clotrimazole, miconazole, terconazole or tioconazole are effective for uncomplicated vulvovaginal candidiasis (Medical Letter 2001; 43:3). A single oral dose of fluconazole (Diflucan, and others) 150 mg is as effective as 7 days of clotrimazole or miconazole intravaginally and is preferred by many patients, but can cause GI symptoms;  severe episodes may require a second oral dose of fluconazole 72 hours after the first.
