How is vaginitis diagnosed?

Do you know how vaginitis is diagnosed? What can be done to confirm the diagnosis of vaginitis? What are the diagnostic criteria for vaginitis? Let us introduce the diagnosis of vaginitis to you.

The diagnosis of vaginitis mainly depends on the following four aspects:

[1] The diagnosis of vaginitis begins with the presence of a particularly high level of amines in the secretions, which gives them a fishy odor. The odor is often aggravated during sexual intercourse or after activity because it promotes the release of amines. Adding 10% potassium hydroxide to the secretions can also release the amine odor.

[2] Vaginal discharge is grayish white, very sticky, even like paste, and uniform, but it is not purulent. The amount varies, and it is also a symptom considered when diagnosing vaginitis.

【3】 Clue cells can be detected in wet smears of vaginal secretions.

【4】The pH value in vaginal secretions increases, with a pH range of 5.0-5.5, while the normal range is 4.5-4.7, which is the main basis for diagnosing vaginitis.

The above is the diagnosis of vaginitis that we introduced to you. If you still have questions about the diagnosis of vaginitis mentioned above, please consult our online experts, who will give you more explanations on the diagnosis of vaginitis. I wish you a speedy recovery!
