Inflammation in the vagina may be caused by bacterial, trichomonal, fungal, or senile vaginitis, with specific symptoms including abnormal vaginal discharge, itching, abnormal urination or urine, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment.

1. Bacterial Vaginitis

Bacterial vaginitis is common in daily life, and approximately half of the women with vaginitis have bacterial vaginitis. This type of vaginitis usually does not have obvious symptoms, but if symptoms are present, they may include grayish-white vaginal discharge with a foul odor, a burning sensation, and itching.

2. Trichomonal Vaginitis

Trichomonal vaginitis is an inflammatory lesion of the vaginal mucosa, characterized by intense burning, itching, and colored vaginal discharge that appears yellowish-green. Patients may experience frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination, and may even have bloody urine. They may also experience diarrhea or abdominal pain.

3. Fungal Vaginitis

Fungal vaginitis is inflammation of the vaginal mucosa, manifesting as redness, swelling, and severe itching. Patients may also experience painful urination, painful intercourse, and increased vaginal discharge.

4. Senile Vaginitis

Senile vaginitis mainly affects older women, manifesting as redness, swelling, and ulceration of the vaginal mucosa, increased secretions, itching, and a burning sensation during urination. Women with gynecological inflammation should seek timely treatment, which mainly includes three types: drug treatment, physical treatment, and surgical treatment. Targeted treatment should be based on the examination results, pathogen identification, and drug sensitivity analysis. It is advisable to use acidic gynecological cleansers and disinfectant pads occasionally, with a recommended frequency of 1-2 times per week, as frequent use can disrupt the vaginal acid-base balance. Patients in the acute inflammatory phase should avoid sexual activity to prevent further vaginal damage, bleeding, and even deeper infection leading to pelvic inflammatory disease.
