Vaginitis
Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal tissues that can result in discharge, itching, redness, pain, and odor.
It can be a chronic problem and a source of embarrassment and distress to women affected by it. Vaginitis can be caused by an overgrowth of or new exposure to certain types of fungus (yeast), bacteria or changes in estrogen levels. It is essential that women with chronic vaginitis have a proper lab evaluation of vaginal discharge, undergo treatment aimed at the specific cause of symptoms, and follow up – so that they can be confident that the vaginitis will not return.
