Brief summary: This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, dose-ranging clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational drug compared to the active comparator in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis. The trial consists of three phases: screening/enrollment (D-3 to D-1), treatment period (D1 to D3), and follow-up period (D4, D11±2, D25±3). Eligible subjects in this study will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to three investigational drug arms with different dosing regimens and one active control arm. Specifically, Group A will receive WXSH0102 tablets with 1400 mg on the first day followed by a maintenance dose of 700 mg for two consecutive days, Group B will receive WXSH0102 tablets with 1000 mg on the first day followed by a maintenance dose of 500 mg for two consecutive days, Group C will receive WXSH0102 tablets with 600 mg on the first day followed by a maintenance dose of 300 mg for two consecutive days, and Group D (active control group) will receive fluconazole capsules for only one day on D1. All medications will be administered orally.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* The subjects understood and voluntarily signed the informed consent Form (ICF), and were willing and able to comply with the study protocol.
* Female participants who signed ICF at the age of 18-64 years (including the cut-off value) and had sexual intercourse;

A vaginal discharge sample collected at screening was Gram stain positive for Candida (hypha/pseudohypha/budding); c. Vaginal pH ≤4.5; Symptoms: vulvovaginal itching, vulvar burning pain, dyspareunia and urination pain, excessive secretion, secretion is tofu residue like; Physical signs: gynecological examination showed vulvar hyperemia and edema, which may be accompanied by scratches. In severe cases, chapped skin, exfoliation and even erosion could be seen. Vaginal mucosa was hyperemic, vaginal secretion was curd or tofu residue like;

* Severe gastrointestinal disease or other conditions that may affect the absorption of the trial drug;
* Patients with severe heart, lung, liver, kidney dysfunction and hematopoietic system diseases;
