What are the clinical manifestations of acute vaginitis?

I believe that many women are familiar with vaginitis. In our lives, many women are troubled by vaginitis. You will also find that although the hospital diagnoses it as vaginitis, the symptoms experienced by many people are different. This is mainly because the degree of vaginitis varies from person to person, and there are many types of vaginitis clinically. However, today I will mainly talk about the main clinical symptoms of vaginitis.

The most common symptom of vaginitis is abnormal vaginal discharge. Abnormal vaginal discharge often increases in volume, has an unpleasant odor, or is accompanied by vaginal itching, ulcers, or pain. It is usually thicker than normal discharge and changes in color, which may be like soft cheese, or yellow, light green, or bloody.

Bacterial infections of the vagina often cause white, grayish white, or yellowish discharge with a foul or fishy odor. This smell becomes stronger after sexual intercourse or washing with soap. Because both of these conditions will reduce the acidity of the vagina, allowing bacteria to multiply faster. In addition, vaginal stinging and mild itching may occur.

Candida infection develops slowly, with severe itching and burning of the vulva and vagina, and redness and stinging of the skin. Vaginal discharge is creamy, thick, and sticks to the vaginal walls. Symptoms may be worse in the week before your period. Women with poorly controlled diabetes and those taking antibiotics are more likely to have relapses.

Vaginal trichomoniasis, vaginal discharge is white, light gray-green or light yellow foamy discharge, often appears suddenly after menstruation, has an unpleasant odor and severe itching.

Watery vaginal discharge can often be caused by cancer of the vagina, cervix, or endometrium. Cervical polyps may cause bleeding after sex. Sometimes vulvar itching or discomfort is caused by HPV infection or carcinoma in situ, an early-stage cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body and can be easily removed with surgery.

After reading the above description by the editor, if you now have similar symptoms, the editor recommends that you go to a regular gynecological hospital for examination and treatment in time, and try to kill the bacteria in the bud. At the same time, friends who already have vaginitis should also pay attention to the fact that in addition to taking medication, they also need to pay more attention to personal hygiene care.
