What are the symptoms of vaginitis

Vaginitis is inflammation of the vagina, which is a group of diseases that cause vulvar and vaginal symptoms such as itching, burning pain, irritation and abnormal discharge. The vagina of a healthy woman has a natural defense function against the invasion of pathogens due to the characteristics of its anatomical tissue. When the natural defense function of the vagina is damaged, it leads to vaginal inflammation.

Symptoms of vaginitis mainly include:

1. Vaginal itching: This is one of the most common symptoms of vaginitis. The itching is mostly located at the vaginal opening and vulva, and sometimes there are symptoms such as burning, pain, and pain during sexual intercourse.

2. Abnormal vaginal discharge: Vaginitis can cause an increase in vaginal discharge and changes in color, odor, and texture. For example, the discharge from Trichomonas vaginitis is foamy and smelly; the discharge from vulvovaginal candidiasis is tofu-like; the discharge from bacterial vaginitis is grayish white and has a fishy odor.

3. Other symptoms: Due to inflammatory stimulation, it may also cause urinary system symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, as well as symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, back pain, and pain during sexual intercourse.

If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, confirm the cause through relevant examinations, and carry out targeted treatment. At the same time, maintaining good hygiene habits, avoiding unclean sex, strengthening exercise, and enhancing immunity can help prevent the occurrence of vaginitis.
