What are the symptoms of vaginitis?

Vaginitis is by no means a "minor problem". During pregnancy, the itching symptoms of vaginitis in women are more severe. For women of childbearing age, untreated it can cause infertility. The main symptoms of female vaginitis are of concern to patients. It is not difficult to make a diagnosis based on the main clinical symptoms and signs. Only by being familiar with the main symptoms of female vaginitis can symptomatic treatment be given. So let’s take a look at what the symptoms are.

Vaginitis is a common disease among women. Depending on the virus, it can be divided into Trichomonas vaginitis, Candidal vaginitis, and bacterial vaginitis. Therefore, it is important to actively protect and maintain vaginal hygiene to prevent the disease.

The following are the symptoms of various types of vaginitis:

1. Trichomonas vaginitis: It is a disease caused by a pathogen called Trichomonas vaginalis, which is mainly transmitted through three ways: 1. Direct transmission through sexual intercourse; 2. Indirect transmission through public baths, bathtubs, bath towels, swimming pools, toilets, clothing, etc. contaminated with Trichomonas; 3. Transmission through contaminated surgical instruments and dressings.

The main symptom is changes in leucorrhea, such as increased amount, thinning, and foamy discharge. If accompanied by mixed infection with other bacteria, the leucorrhea will be purulent and have a foul odor. Itching of the vulva and vaginal opening, sometimes with burning sensation, pain, and dyspareunia. If the urethra is infected, urinary urgency, frequency, and pain may occur, and sometimes blood in the urine. If no Trichomonas is found in three leucorrhea examinations (after menstruation) after treatment, it means that the patient is cured.

2. Candidal vaginitis. Common symptoms include increased and sticky vaginal discharge that is white and dregs-like or curd-like, itching and burning pain in the vulva, and in severe cases, restlessness, and sometimes frequent urination, painful urination, and pain during sexual intercourse.

3. Bacterial vaginosis: Normally, there are many bacteria living in women's vagina. They depend on each other and are in a state of "ecological balance". In this case, bacterial vaginosis will not occur. Due to various reasons, the vaginal flora changes, the lactobacilli decrease and other bacteria multiply rapidly, making it easy to develop bacterial vaginosis.

The above common symptoms will bring about some changes in leucorrhea. When abnormalities occur, especially obvious abnormalities, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. Do not trust quack doctors, otherwise you will lose both your money and your life. Be sure to take medication on time as required by your doctor, complete the regular course of treatment, have regular check-ups, and be responsible for your own body.
