&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Causes of Vaginal Infection (Vaginitis): What You Need to Know?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vaginitis is any inflammation of the vagina. Inflammation can be a sexually-related infection or a non-sexually-related infection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vaginitis can happen to&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; women of all ages. One-third of women may suffer from vaginitis at some point in their lives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vaginitis occurs when the vaginal walls become inflamed due to an irritant disrupting the natural balance of the vagina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is vaginitis?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The word &quot;vaginitis&quot; refers to conditions that cause inflammation or discomfort in your vagina. Depending on the reason, you may experience itching, a burning sensation when peeing, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vaginitis can be caused by bacteria, fungus, parasites, or other creatures, as well as chemicals found in creams or personal care products. Vaginitis can be caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or vaginal dryness as a result of low estrogen levels. Vaginitis is quite prevalent, affecting virtually everyone with a vagina at least once in their lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/Pai/Gut%20Microbiome%20Test%20in%20Bangkok%2C%20Phuket%2C%20Pattaya%2C%20Chiang%20Mai%20(Thailand)14.jpg&quot; width=&quot;1200&quot; height=&quot;800&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You generally don&#39;t think about your vaginal health unless something seems odd. Then your vagina is all you can think about. Itching, burning, soreness, swelling, and irregular discharge all indicate that something is wrong. While frequent check-ups are vital for your vaginal health, you should also consult a healthcare specialist if something doesn&#39;t feel right.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;There are several different causes of vaginitis, each with its own set of symptoms and treatment options.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bacterial vaginosis (BV)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most frequent kind of vaginal inflammation. Bacterial vaginosis arises when bacteria that naturally exist in your vagina overgrow for whatever reason, resulting in a bacterial imbalance. The most typical indication is discharge with a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/why-do-i-have-smelly-vagina&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;fishy odor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/Pai/Causes%20of%20Vaginal%20Infection%20(Vaginitis)10.jpg&quot; width=&quot;1200&quot; height=&quot;800&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yeast infection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Yeast infections are the second-leading cause of vaginitis. It is caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/candidiasis&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Candida&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; generally lives in your vagina without problem, but when you have a yeast infection, candida disrupts the balance of other &quot;good&quot; bacteria. It may cause burning, irritation, and changes in your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/vaginal-discharge&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;vaginal discharg&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/vaginal-discharge&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;e&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trichomoniasis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Trichomoniasis (trich) is a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/std-test-and-treat&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sexually transmitted infection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; caused by the microscopic single-celled parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. When this bacterium enters your vagina, it can produce unpleasant symptoms such as itching and foul-smelling discharge. Sexual intercourse is often the mode of transmission for this form of vaginitis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genital Herpes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Genital herpes-related vaginitis occurs when the herpes simplex virus (HSV) triggers inflammation of the vaginal tissues, leading to symptoms that overlap with both genital herpes and vaginitis. In this case, the presence of HSV can cause painful sores or ulcers on the vaginal walls, which may result in additional irritation and inflammation. This can exacerbate typical vaginitis symptoms such as itching, burning, and unusual discharge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/Pai/Causes%20of%20Vaginal%20Infection%20(Vaginitis)03.jpg&quot; width=&quot;1200&quot; height=&quot;800&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Non-infectious related Vaginitis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;This form of vaginitis develops when you have an allergic reaction to vaginal sprays, scented soap, douches, or spermicides. The skin around your vagina is also susceptible to feminine products like wipes, sexual lubricants, detergents, and fabric softeners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atrophic Vaginitis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Atrophic vaginitis (genitourinary syndrome of menopause) is a kind of vaginitis caused by a reduction in estrogen levels. It makes your vagina thin and dry. This occurs largely during perimenopause and postmenopause, which can be natural or surgical (ovaries removed).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You may also feel comparable sensations if you are nursing (chestfeeding) or have recently given birth (postpartum) owing to hormonal changes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the signs of vaginitis?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The symptoms of vaginitis vary according to the kind. Some may cause no symptoms at all. Multiple types of vaginitis can occur concurrently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;However, some signs and symptoms can appear in several types of vaginitis. This includes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Changes in the color, texture, or scent of your vaginal discharge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vaginal itch, burning, or irritation. Your vulva may even seem and feel enlarged.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Dysuria is the sensation of pain during urinating.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;pain during intercourse or when inserting a tampon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;When you don&#39;t have your period, you may experience light bleeding or spotting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/vaginal-discharge-colour-coded-guide&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;vaginal discharge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; contains various signs that may reveal the sort of vaginitis you have. Pay attention to what you see in your underwear and when you wipe. Infection can be identified by a discharge that has a strong odor, is clumpy, or is frothy. Your discharge should be transparent, white, or off-white. A discharge that appears green or yellow may also indicate an infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
