What is a vaginal infection?

Vaginal infection, also known as Vaginitis, means infection at the vaginal area that leads to inflammation and discomfort changing the normal function of the vagina. Vaginal infections are characterized by itching, burning sensations, abnormal discharge and foul-smelling discharge.

Therefore, a full evaluation and identification of the vaginal infections and how to prevent a relapse should be achieved through proper treatment. It will therefore be easier to know which vaginal infection is present, as there are various kinds of them. This will facilitate the course of treatment to be taken for full recovery of vaginal infections.

Types of Vaginal Infections

  • Yeast Infections:
    A yeast infection, which is caused by an excessive amount of fungus Candidiasis, is the most common type of vaginal infection. This type of vaginal infection comes with itching, redness, and a thick white discharge.
  • Bacterial Vaginosis (BV):
    This type of vaginal infection is caused by the accumulation of bacterial pathogens in the vagina due to an interruption in the normal balance of bacteria there. Unpleasantness and a fishy-smelling discharge are the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis.
  • Trichomonas vaginalis:
    This vaginal infection is caused by a parasite called trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection. A foamy greenish-yellow discharge is one of the major symptoms that may be noticeable. Other common sexually transmitted infections aside from trichomonas that can affect the vaginal area include chlamydia and gonorrhea.

In addition, vaginal infections can be caused by soaps or lotions, STIs, or hormone imbalances, particularly during menopause.

How is Vaginal Infection Treated

To effectively treat your vaginal infections, Macie Medical determines the specific cause and type of the infection, which are assessed in addition to its relief and recurrence prevention. These are our approaches to vaginal infection treatment:

  • Antifungal Drugs:
    Antifungal medications are prescribed by our vaginal infection doctor to treat yeast or fungus infections in order to prevent the re-growth of Candidiasis.
  • Antibiotics:
    Our physician determines which antibiotics can be taken to treat bacterial infections such as bacterial vaginosis. It is pertinent to know that our vaginal infection doctor gives an entire course of antibiotics for prompt treatment.
  • Antiparasitic Drugs:
    Antiparasitic medications are used to treat trichomoniasis. These drugs function to get rid of the parasite that is causing the vaginal infection and are usually taken orally.
  • Medication Creams:
    There are supplements like creams and gels that are used to treat bacterial vaginosis by controlling the bacteria naturally and reducing inflammation.
  • Lifestyle Changes:
    You can prevent vaginal infection recurrence and get overall vaginal health by embracing good personal hygiene and avoiding scented products.
  • Probiotic supplements:
    After having received antibiotic treatment, we advise taking probiotics to help sustain and reinstate a good balance of vaginal flora.
  • Follow-Up Care:
    To ensure your vaginal infection has been treated successfully and to take care of any recurrent symptoms, we offer routine check-ups and follow-up closely.
