Complications  

If you're dealing with vaginitis, you are at an increased risk of getting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This increased risk happens because an inflamed or irritated vaginal lining can be more vulnerable to infections.

Diagnosis

The gynecologist will begin diagnosis by asking your medical history, performing a physical exam, and conducting a pelvic examination. It's really important to let them know if you've had any previous sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

During the pelvic exam, the gynecologist might take a swab from inside your vagina to collect a sample of discharge. The sample will be sent to a lab for testing to check for any infections. Your doctor may also test the pH levels of your vaginal fluid to help with the diagnosis.

Treatment

Depending on the cause, our gynecologists will provide the best treatment for vaginitis.

• Bacterial Vaginitis (BV): The treatment might involve using low-potency topical steroids, along with topical or oral antibiotics, antifungals, or antibacterial creams.

• Yeast Infections: Ant fungal creams are used to treat most yeast infections.

• Trichomoniasis: You will be prescribed oral antibiotics to kill the parasite causing the infection.

• Atrophic Vaginitis: In cases where vaginitis is related to low estrogen levels, a topical estrogen cream could be beneficial.

However, if a pregnant woman gets infected with vaginitis, it's advisable to seek immediate treatment as it can also affect the fetus. Besides, some treatments might not be safe during pregnancy.
