Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina that can cause symptoms such as itching, burning, unusual discharge, and discomfort. It can result from various factors, including infections, hormonal changes, and irritants.
Type | Cause | Key Symptoms |
---|---|---|
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) | Bacterial imbalance (↓ Lactobacilli, ↑ Gardnerella) | Thin, grayish-white discharge; fishy odor |
Yeast Infection (Candidiasis) | Candida overgrowth | Thick, white “cottage cheese” discharge; intense itching |
Trichomoniasis | Parasite (Trichomonas vaginalis) | Frothy, yellow-green discharge; strong odor |
Atrophic Vaginitis | Low estrogen (menopause) | Dryness, thinning vaginal walls |
BV: Metronidazole (oral or gel) or Clindamycin
Yeast Infection: Antifungals (Fluconazole, Clotrimazole)
Trichomoniasis: Oral antibiotics (Metronidazole/Tinidazole)
Atrophic Vaginitis: Estrogen therapy (creams, rings)
✔ Wear cotton underwear & avoid tight clothing
✔ Practice safe sex (condoms reduce STI risk)
✔ Avoid douching (disrupts vaginal pH)
✔ Use fragrance-free hygiene products
Seek medical advice if you experience:
⚠ Persistent symptoms despite OTC treatments
⚠ Foul-smelling or bloody discharge
⚠ Pelvic pain or fever (sign of complication)
Early treatment prevents recurrence—schedule a visit with your gynecologist for proper testing and care.
