Results: This study reveals that there was no statistical significant difference between cumin and clotrimazole groups regarding improving Symptoms of VVC after treatment (P>0.05) and there was highly statistically significant difference regarding women’s personal hygienic practices before and after health education providing for women in both groups (P>0.001). Conclusion: Cumin seed extract vaginal suppository is as effective as clotrimazole vaginal suppository in treatment of VVC and health education play an important role in management of vaginal infection.
