Is chronic vaginitis serious?

Chronic vaginitis is a relatively serious disease. Most patients cannot be cured in a short period of time. They may even need to take medication for a long time to prevent the disease from worsening. This will affect the patient's normal life. If drug treatment has no effect on the patient, they should choose appropriate surgical treatment according to their own situation.

10% to 40% of patients have no clinical symptoms. Those with symptoms mainly present with increased vaginal discharge with a fishy odor, which is especially aggravated after sexual intercourse and may be accompanied by mild vulvar itching or burning sensation. Examination showed no signs of congestion or inflammation in the vaginal mucosa. The secretions were grayish white, uniform, thin, and often adhered to the vaginal wall, which could be easily wiped off.
