Vulvovaginitis
Inflammatory
diseases of the vagina often also affect the vulva, but the vagina alone can be
affected. Vagin-itis causes discharge, odour, painful intercourse and itching
or burning sensations. The differential diagnosis includes candidiasis,
trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, cytolytic vaginosis and atrophic
vaginitis. The dia-gnosis can be made by the appearance of the discharge both
grossly and under the microscope. Most patients with vaginitis get their care
from gynaecologists. Swabs for microbiological examination are essential.
