An inflammation of the vagina called vaginitis can cause pain, itching, and discharge. The cause is typically an infection or an imbalance in the vaginal bacterial balance. Other causes of vaginitis include certain skin conditions and decreased estrogen levels following menopause. One of the most prevalent forms of vaginitis is bacterial vaginosis. This happens when the natural equilibrium is upset by an overabundance of the germs that are naturally present in your vagina. as well as fungal infection. Usually, a naturally occurring fungus known as Candida albicans is the source of these. Urinary tract infections may occur with vaginitis. 64% of those involved in this study had a urinary tract infection correlated with vaginitis. The type of vaginitis in adult women was identified through investigation. 56% of the specimens were vaginal fungal infections, 22% were bacterial infections, and the remaining percentage were a combination of bacterial and fungal infections. This is where the challenge in treating such instances resides.
