Vaginitis ( vaginal infection)

by: Joe Hing Kwok Chu

Differentiation of vaginitis

(1). Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a trichomonad (Trichomonas vaginalis) that may also invade the male urethra and bladder.

The symptoms in women include pruritus and burning associated with a foul, heavy, yellow-green or gray vaginal discharge, discomfort during intercourse, and painful urination, and on rare occasions, lower abdominal pain.

(2). Bacterial Vaginosis

A discharge associated with odor but without irritative vulvar symptoms suggests a bacterial vaginosis.

(3). Vaginal Candida Yeast Infection

Itching and irritation and redness around the external vagina, especially in the absence of significant discharge.   Minimum thick, white discharges that look cottage cheese and may smell like beer or yeast. Burning and / or pain during urination or during sexual intercourse, suggests candida infection .
