What are the symptoms of vaginitis?

Vaginitis, or inflammation of the vagina, is a group of conditions that cause vulvar and vaginal symptoms such as itching, burning, 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, vaginal inflammation occurs.

Symptoms of vaginitis mainly include:

1. Increased vaginal discharge, which may be yellow, green or white, and may be foamy, purulent or watery in texture.

2. Vulvar itching, which may be accompanied by burning or pain.

3. Pain or discomfort may occur during sexual intercourse.

4. Symptoms of urethral irritation such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating may occur.

5. Inflammatory symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and ulcers of the vaginal mucosa may occur.

The symptoms of vaginitis vary from person to person, and each person may present differently. If you experience the above symptoms, it is recommended that you seek medical attention and treatment in a timely manner so that you can get a professional diagnosis and treatment plan. At the same time, maintaining good personal hygiene habits and avoiding bad habits such as wearing tight pants and holding urine frequently can help prevent the occurrence of vaginitis.
