Vaginitis

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina that can result in discharge, itching and pain. The cause is usually a change in the balance of vaginal bacteria or an infection. Reduced estrogen levels after menopause and some skin disorders also can cause vaginitis.

The most common types of vaginitis are:
  • Bacterial vaginosis. This results from an overgrowth of the bacteria naturally found in your vagina, which upsets the natural balance.
  • Yeast infections. These are usually caused by a naturally occurring fungus called Candida albicans.
  • Trichomoniasis. This is caused by a parasite and is often sexually transmitted.

Symptoms

  • Vaginal itching or irritation
  • Pain during sex
  • Painful urination
  • Light vaginal bleeding or spotting
  • Change in color, odor or amount of discharge from your vagina

When to see a doctor

See your health care provider if you develop vaginal discomfort, especially if:

  • You have a particularly unpleasant vaginal odor, discharge or itching.
  • You've never had a vaginal infection. Seeing your health care provider can establish the cause and help you learn to identify the signs and symptoms.
  • You've had vaginal infections before.
  • You've had multiple sex partners or a recent new partner. You could have a sexually transmitted infection, some of which have signs and symptoms similar to those of a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis.
  • You've completed a course of over-the-counter anti-yeast medication and your symptoms persist.
  • You have a fever, chills or pelvic pain.

Wait-and-see approach

You probably don't need to see your health care provider every time you have vaginal irritation and discharge, particularly if:

  • You've previously had a diagnosis of vaginal yeast infection and your signs and symptoms are the same as before
  • You know the signs and symptoms of a yeast infection, and you're confident that's what you have
