Vaginal infections, commonly referred to as vaginitis, represent a widespread concern for women, characterized by inflammation of the vagina leading to symptoms such as unusual discharge, persistent itching, and discomfort. These infections primarily arise from a disruption in the delicate balance of the vagina's natural microbial environment or the presence of specific pathogens. The most prevalent types include Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), an overgrowth of certain naturally occurring bacteria causing a thin, fishy-smelling discharge; Vaginal Candidiasis (yeast infection), an overgrowth of Candida fungi resulting in thick, white, cottage cheese-like discharge and intense itching; and Trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite, often presenting with frothy, yellow-green discharge. Non-infectious vaginitis can also occur due to irritants like harsh soaps or douches, while Atrophic Vaginitis stems from reduced estrogen levels, leading to dryness and thinning of vaginal tissues. Causes often include changes in vaginal pH from douching or certain hygiene products, antibiotic use, hormonal shifts during pregnancy or menopause, sexual activity, or a weakened immune system. Symptoms vary but generally include changes in discharge (color, consistency, odor), itching, burning during urination or sex, redness, swelling, and sometimes pain. Diagnosis typically involves a pelvic exam, review of symptoms, and tests like a wet mount, whiff test, or pH measurement of vaginal fluid to identify the specific causative agent. Treatment is entirely dependent on the diagnosis: antibiotics for BV and trichomoniasis, antifungals for yeast infections, and addressing irritants or providing estrogen therapy for non-infectious types.
