What is Vaginitis?
Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina characterized by discharge, irritation and / or itching. The cause of vaginitis can not be determined properly based solely on the basis of symptoms or physic laboratory test. Examines are required for a correct diagnosis. Many effective drugs are available for the treatment of vaginal infections and accompanying vaginitis.

Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial vaginosis (BV acronym in English), is the most common cause of vaginitis symptoms among older women with children. Bacterial vaginosis can be transmitted through sexual contact activity, although the bodies have also been found in young women who are not sexually active. The infection is due to change in the balance between different types of bacteria in the vagina. Instead of the normal predominance of “friendly” bacteria Lactobacillus, increases in the numbers of harmful organisms are found in the vagina of women with BV (bacterial vaginosis). Additionally, intrauterine devices (IUD acronym in English) may increase the risk of acquiring bacterial vaginosis. The primary symptom of BV is an abnormal vaginal discharge with a fishy odor, which is especially noticeable after intercourse. However, about half of women with bacterial vaginosis reported no symptoms.

All women with BV should be informed of their diagnosis, including the possibility of sexual transmission, and offer treatment. Bacterial vaginosis can be treated with antibiotics.

Generally, male sex partners are not treated. However, in cases of bacterial vaginosis unresponsive to drug therapy, treating male partners may be helpful.
