What are the main symptoms of non-gonococcal vaginitis?

Nowadays, it is common for women to suffer from vaginitis, especially non-gonococcal vaginitis, which should not be underestimated. This disease is contagious and mainly transmitted through sexual contact. It is very harmful.

Non-gonococcal vaginitis (non-gonococcal vaginitis for short) is characterized by mild symptoms, mainly manifested as cervicitis and genital tract inflammation. When urethritis occurs, the patient may experience frequent urination and difficulty urinating, or mild pain when urinating, and a small amount of secretions, sometimes with a fishy smell. The patient believes that the amount of leucorrhea has increased. If the infection site is mainly in the cervix, it will manifest as inflammation, erosion, and increased leucorrhea.

Usually only the examination of cervical secretions can provide some clinical clues, and the diagnosis can be confirmed when the chlamydia and mycoplasma culture and serum immunofluorescence antigen test are positive. Leucorrhea caused by Candida albicans is watery or purulent, and contains white curd-like or bean dregs-like substances. Laboratory tests showing a positive result for Candida albicans can also confirm the diagnosis.

It is often infected at the same time as gonorrhea. The former shows gonorrhea symptoms first. After anti-gonococcal treatment, gonococci are killed by penicillin, while chlamydia and mycoplasma still exist. The disease occurs 1-3 weeks after infection, and it is easily mistaken for uncured or relapsed gonorrhea clinically. Improper handling or untimely treatment may cause complications (1%), such as cervicitis, cervical erosion, Bartholinitis, vaginitis, salpingitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, etc.

Newborns passing through an infected birth canal may develop conjunctivitis 3-13 days after birth, with mucopurulent secretions in the eyes, or no secretions at all, but the cornea is usually not invaded.
