Difference between vaginitis and urethritis

There are differences between vaginitis and urethritis. The causes of their diseases are different, and their symptoms may also be different, but there are also certain connections between them. For example, if vaginitis is not treated well, it may also lead to urethritis and even other urinary system inflammations, such as cystitis, etc. More serious cases may also have adverse effects on kidney function.

Urethritis and vaginitis can both cause symptoms such as pain and urgency to urinate, so you must make the right judgment. The following is an introduction to the symptoms of urethritis and vaginitis respectively.

1. Symptoms of urethritis

The symptoms of female patients are more atypical. Many women mistakenly think they are symptoms of gynecological diseases and do not pay attention to them. Common symptoms include: increased vaginal discharge, slight itching of the vulva, slight burning sensation when urinating, slight discomfort in the urethral opening, and those who have not discovered it for a long time may experience dull pain in the lower abdomen (not related to the menstrual cycle) and menstrual disorders. If you have a gynecological disease that has not been cured for a long time, it is recommended to undergo tests for non-gonococcal urethritis and vaginitis to find out the cause and cure the disease.

2. Symptoms of vaginitis

Vaginitis is clinically characterized by changes in the nature of leucorrhea and itching and burning pain of the vulva. Dyspareunia is also common. When the infection involves the urethra, there may be symptoms such as urinary pain and urgency. Common vaginitis includes bacterial vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, and senile vaginitis. Increased vaginal discharge and vulvar itching and burning are symptoms of vaginitis. There are certain differences in the color of leucorrhea and abnormal leucorrhea among different types of vaginitis.

I believe that through the above introduction, everyone has a certain understanding of the difference between vaginitis and urethritis. The difference between vaginitis and urethritis is very large. Although we may not understand it very well, it is very easy for doctors to distinguish. Therefore, if the above symptoms appear, do not take medicine privately, but pay attention to timely diagnosis and treatment in a regular hospital.
