Activity Description

Vaginitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the vagina, often resulting in symptoms such as itching, burning, discomfort, and abnormal discharge. This condition affects women across life stages and can be caused by various factors, including infections, hormonal changes, and irritants. Common types of vaginitis include bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and trichomoniasis, each with distinct causes and treatments. Understanding the underlying cause is crucial for effective management and relief.
