1 Trichomonas vaginitis

It is caused by the pathogen Trichomonas vaginalis, and is transmitted through sexual intercourse or indirectly (through bathtubs, tubs, swimming pools, clothing, dressings and contaminated equipment, etc.). The main symptoms are vulvar itching, increased leucorrhea, which is light yellow and foamy. In severe cases, the leucorrhea may be mixed with blood. There is also a burning sensation and pain during sexual intercourse. When accompanied by a urethral infection, there may be frequent urination, painful urination, and even hematuria.

2. Fungal vaginitis

It is caused by the pathogen Candida albicans, and often occurs in women who use hormones and antibiotics for a long time, diabetics and pregnant women. The main routes of transmission are sexual intercourse, baths, bath towels, etc. The main symptoms are tofu-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

3 Gardnerella vaginitis

It is caused by the pathogen, Gardnerella vaginitis, and can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. Gardnerella vaginitis has a high prevalence among people with promiscuous sexual relations. Infections caused by Gardnerella are more common in sexually active women. In the acute phase, the amount of leucorrhea increases, and it has a fishy or ammonia odor. The vulva becomes damp and uncomfortable, often accompanied by a burning sensation in the vagina, pain during sexual intercourse, and itching of the vulva.

4 Gonorrheal vaginitis

It is caused by the pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae and can be transmitted through unclean or promiscuous sexual intercourse. There are also a few cases of indirect transmission through wearing swimsuits infected with gonococci or through bathtubs, toilets, etc. contaminated with gonococci. Its symptoms include lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, purulent leucorrhea, redness, swelling and pain at the vaginal opening, etc. If not treated in time, it may turn into chronic gynecological inflammation. 10% to 20% of women may experience infertility or ectopic pregnancy.

5 Vaginitis in young girls

It is more common in little girls wearing open-crotch pants. The cause of the disease is that girls sit or crawl on the ground while playing, or stick their fingers directly into the vagina, or even place foreign objects, causing contamination of the vulva and vagina and inducing vaginitis. The main symptoms are redness and swelling of the vulva, watery discharge from the vagina, and vaginal burning or unbearable pain.

6 Vaginitis during menarche in girls

When girls have their first menstruation, due to their shyness and vague understanding of menstruation, they often do not understand or pay attention to menstrual hygiene, and abuse unclean toilet paper, causing the vulva to be contaminated by unclean toilet paper, and bacteria take the opportunity to multiply and invade, causing menarche vaginitis. The characteristics are: a feeling of falling and burning in the perineum, increased vaginal secretions, and even purulent secretions. Due to the overflow of vaginal secretions, the urethra opening is stimulated, resulting in symptoms of frequent urination and painful urination.

7. Vaginitis caused by tight crotch pants

As the name suggests, this type of vaginitis is caused by women frequently wearing tight-crotch and hip-wrapped triangle underwear and high-elastic tight leggings. Some girls who love beauty often like to wear tight clothes that show their body curves. This type of pants has a tight crotch and covers the hips. The fabric is made of chemical fiber and is not breathable. Vaginal secretions and sweat are not easily dissipated, which is suitable for the growth and reproduction of bacteria, causing vaginitis. The main symptoms are: excessive vaginal discharge, itching of the vagina and labia majora and minora, accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, and urethral irritation.
