What is Vaginitis?
Vaginitis refers to inflammation or infection of the vagina. It can be caused by bacteria, yeast, viruses, or irritants like chemicals in soaps or douches. The most common types include bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections (candidiasis), and trichomoniasis.
Diagnosis and Treatment:
Diagnosis involves a pelvic exam, analysis of vaginal discharge, and sometimes lab tests to identify the cause.
Antibiotics or Antifungal Medications
Depending on the cause, either oral or topical medications may be prescribed.
Probiotics
To restore and maintain a healthy vaginal flora.
Lifestyle Changes
Avoiding irritants such as scented products, wearing breathable cotton underwear, and maintaining good hygiene.
Symptoms of Vaginitis:
- Abnormal vaginal discharge (may be white, yellow, green, or gray)
- Unpleasant odor (often fishy)
- Itching or irritation in the vaginal area
- Pain during urination or intercourse
- Redness or swelling around the vagina
What is Vaginal Atrophy?
Vaginal atrophy is the thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls due to a decrease in estrogen levels, most commonly occurring after menopause.
Diagnosis and Treatment:
Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms, physical examination, and, if needed, vaginal pH testing or biopsy.
Topical Estrogen Therapy
Creams, tablets, or rings inserted into the vagina can help restore moisture and elasticity.
Moisturizers and Lubricants
Over-the-counter options can provide relief from dryness and discomfort.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Systemic estrogen therapy can also be considered for broader menopausal symptoms.
