Best Vaginitis Treatment Center In Chennai - Seethapathy Clinic

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina that can result in discharge, itching and pain. The cause is usually a change in the normal balance of vaginal bacteria or an infection. Vaginitis can also result from reduced estrogen levels after menopause.

The most common types of Vaginitis are:

Bacterial vaginosis, which results from overgrowth of one of several organisms normally present in your vagina
Yeast infections, which are usually caused by a naturally occurring fungus called Candida albicans
Trichomoniasis, which is caused by a parasite and is commonly transmitted by sexual intercourse
Vaginal atrophy (atrophic vaginitis), which results from reduced estrogen levels after menopause.

The cause depends on the type of vaginitis you have.

1. Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis results from an overgrowth of one of several organisms normally present in your vagina. Usually, “good” bacteria (lactobacilli) outnumber “bad” bacteria (anaerobes) in your vagina. But if anaerobic bacteria become too numerous, they upset the balance, causing bacterial vaginosis. This type of vaginitis seems to be linked to sexual intercourse — especially if you have multiple sex partners or a new sex partner — but it also occurs in women who aren’t sexually active.

2.Yeast infections

A yeast infection occurs when there’s an overgrowth of a fungal organism — usually C. Albicans — in your vagina. Besides causing most vaginal yeast infections, C. Albicans also causes infections in other moist areas of your body, such as in your mouth (thrush), skin folds and nail beds. The fungus can also cause diaper rash.

3.Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by a microscopic, one-celled parasite called TrichomonasVaginalis. This organism spreads during sexual intercourse with someone who already has the infection. In men, the organism usually infects the urinary tract, but often it causes no symptoms. In women, Trichomoniasis typically infects the vagina, and usually it causes symptoms.

4. Noninfectious Vaginitis

Vaginal sprays, douches, perfumed soaps, scented detergents and spermicidal products may cause an allergic reaction or irritate vulvar and vaginal tissues. Thinning of the vaginal lining — a result of decreased hormone levels following menopause or surgical removal of your ovaries — can also cause vaginal itching and burning.

The doctor may take a smear to confirm the nature of the infection. The treatment may include vaginal pessaries and/ or oral tablets depending on the type of infection. Sometimes it is important that the spouse / partner is treated to prevent relapse of the infection. Seethapathy Clinic is one the best Vaginitis Center In Chennai.
