      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The participants will be allocated randomly into two groups receiving mycosin vaginal cream and clotrimazole vaginal cream 1% using Random Allocation Software (RAS) through four and six blocks and with a ratio of 1:1 (40 people in each group) . The type of allocation will be written on paper and placed in consecutively numbered opaque envelopes (Allocation Concealment). The envelopes will be opened in order by a person not involved in sampling, Blinding description: The participants, researcher and data analyst will be blinded completely in this study. Mycozin and Clotrimazole will be  similar in appearance (shape, color, smell) and packaging of drug and placebo will be conducted by a person not involved in the research.</study_design>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Frequency of clinical symptoms (smell, quantity, consistency, color and appearance of vaginal secretions, vaginal inflammation, appearance of cervix). Timepoint: Before the intervention and 10 to 15 days after the intervention. Method of measurement: Clinical examination by the researcher and clinical symptoms checklist.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Frequency of patient complaints (secretions, dysuria, frequency, itching, itching during intercourse, pain in the lower abdomen, burning sensation during intercourse, and dyspareunia). Timepoint: Before the intervention and 10 to 15 days after the intervention. Method of measurement: Stated by the participants and complaints checklist.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Frequency of laboratory symptoms (negative smear and culture of vaginal secretions). Timepoint: Before the intervention and 10 to 15 days after the intervention. Method of measurement: Sampling will be done with a sterile cotton swab from the posterior fornix of the vagina, and we will dip the swab inside the blood culture tubes and gently shake it inside the solution until the sample dissolves in it. Incubation will be at 37 degrees for 2 to 4 hours, and a drop of the contents of the tube solution will be transferred on a slide. We examine the slide under the microscope with high and low magnification. Germ tube formation test is a quick test to identify Candida albicans and differentiate it from other yeasts.</prim_outcome>

    <secondary_outcome>
      <sec_outcome>PH of vaginal secretions. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 10 to 15 days after the intervention. Method of measurement: PH paper.</sec_outcome>
      <sec_outcome>Satisfaction with the treatment. Timepoint: 10 to 15 days after the intervention. Method of measurement: Satisfaction questionnaire.</sec_outcome>
