What symptoms does vaginitis cause?

Vaginitis is a symptom that many women will experience. However, although many women know about vaginitis, they do not know its specific manifestations.

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 (yeast) infections develop more 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.
