It is thus estimated that its\nprevalence among women may be greater than 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this sense, it\nshould be noted that there are abundant bacteria and microorganisms in the\nnormal vaginal flora that fulfil a protective function and that form a &#8216;vaginal\necosystem&#8217;. Disrupted balance can be the first step in starting a vaginal\ninfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a woman has a\nvaginal infection, the mucosa and sometimes also the vulvar skin, become\ninflamed. Hence, this condition is sometimes known as <strong>vulvovaginitis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is that\nsince it is a very frequent alteration in women, it can affect them at\ndifferent times in their lives, especially in childhood, during pregnancy or\nafter menopause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The factors that cause\nvaginitis include age, hormonal changes (menstrual cycles, pregnancy, sexual\nactivity), systemic diseases and external factors such as taking antibiotics\nfor a long time, inadequate hygiene habits, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diabetes and skin\ndiseases such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis also favour the appearance of\nvulvovaginitis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>symptoms of\nvaginal infections<\/strong> include changes in the colour, odour or amount of\nvaginal discharge, itching or irritation in the intimate area, pain during\nintercourse or urination and light bleeding or spotting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, should any\nof these signs appear, it is advisable to suspect a <strong>vulvovaginitis<\/strong>\nproblem and seek medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The different types of vaginal infections<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different <strong>types\nof vaginal infections<\/strong> depending on what is causing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Bacterial vaginosis<\/strong>. This is the most frequent and appears when the bacteria normally found in the vagina undergo changes and some of them grow excessively.<\/li><li><strong>Candida vaginitis<\/strong>. This occurs when there is an abnormal growth of a fungus, known as candida, inside the vagina.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Trichomoniasis<\/strong>. A sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite, popularly known as <em>&lt;&lt;ladillas<\/em>>>.<\/li><li><strong>Non-infectious vaginitis<\/strong>. They include all inflammations of the vagina and\/or vulva caused      by an allergic reaction or irritation of the tissues. The main causes of this type of vaginitis are poor habits in intimate care and hygiene and the use of inappropriate products or those that are too aggressive with this delicate area.<\/li><li><strong>Vaginal atrophy<\/strong>. Reduced oestrogen levels in postmenopausal women cause a thin vaginal mucosa. As a consequence, vaginitis can appear with vaginal      burning, irritation or <strong>dryness<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although, as\nmentioned, it is a frequent condition in women. Remember that intimate care and\nhygiene that respects the vaginal flora greatly help to<strong> prevent vaginitis<\/strong>\nand other intimate infections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vaginitis or when the vaginal mucosa becomes inflamed Vaginitis is one of the main reasons for gynaecological consultation.
