What are the symptoms of vaginal infection?

Signs and symptoms of vaginal infection include:

  • Pain near the vagina
  • Redness or discoloration at the vagina
  • Swelling of vulva
  • Itching at vagina and vulva
  • Increased vaginal discharge
  • Change in color of vaginal discharge
  • Foul-smelling discharge from vagina
  • Burning sensation while urinating
  • Pain while having sex
  • Spotting of blood at times

How is vaginal infection diagnosed and treated?

Vaginal infections can be diagnosed by taking a proper history to rule out sexually transmitted infections. Vaginal examination may reveal redness and swelling. Testing of vaginal pH also helps to know the presence of infection. Laboratory investigations like a complete blood picture and a vaginal discharge test to confirm the presence of vaginal infection.

How to prevent vaginal infections?

Maintaining personal hygiene like 

  • Cleaning vagina with water regularly
  • Avoiding harsh soaps and chemicals to clean the vagina
  • Avoiding scented production near the vagina
  • Avoid douching
  • Using cotton underwear 
  • Regularly washing and drying panties under sunlight
  • Wiping toilet paper front to back to prevent bacterial spread from the anus to the vagina
  • Keeping the vaginal area dry, as moisture attracts the fungal growth
  • Using condoms
  • Control blood sugar levels

Frequently Asked Questions
Vaginal infection is caused by overgrowth of naturally occurring bacteria in the vagina, parasites such as trichomonas vaginalis, and yeast infection-causing fungi like candida albicans. A reduction in estrogen levels during menopause can also cause vaginal infection by making vulvar skin thin and sensitive. These microbes cause changes in the pH of the vagina leading to different symptoms.
The duration of vaginal infection depends on the severity and type of infection. A bacterial vaginal infection may remain unnoticed most of the time. If symptoms show up, they may improve within two days of antibiotic therapy. A yeast vaginal infection, if symptoms are severe, may take as long as two to three weeks to subside. However, non-infectious vaginitis can be treated once the underlying cause is corrected.   
Some bacterial and non-infectious vaginal infections can cure by themselves. Mild yeast vaginal infections also subside within a week, but severe infections need proper medical supervision. It is always a good idea to get tested if you are suffering from vaginal infections. A few vaginal infections may be a sign of sexually transmitted disease.
Most of the vaginal infections are just overgrowth of micro-organisms that are naturally present in the vagina. Microbes such as candida and some bacteria already exist in the vagina as their habitat. That overgrowth will cause a change in vaginal pH leading to inflammations. So, these vaginal infections are non-contagious and do not spread. However, vaginitis that is caused due to sexually transmitted infections is often dangerous and contagious.
Yes, pregnancy can lead to vaginal infections. During pregnancy, there are increased levels of estrogen in the blood. This favors the growth of bacteria and other microbes by providing a high amount of glycogen in the vagina. So there is a high possibility of getting a vaginal infection during pregnancy. They also reoccur frequently and can become a cause for pre-term delivery.
Vaginal infections need proper diagnosis and treatment. If not treated properly, they may end up with complications. Fever, skin rashes, fatigue, and oral thrush can be seen. Sometimes, they may also cause serious problems like pelvic inflammatory disease, leading to infertility. Pregnant women need to take anti-fungal external applications, as untreated vaginitis in pregnancy will be a risk for pre-term delivery and infections post-delivery. Frequent and untreated vaginal infections will increase the chance of getting sexually transmitted infections.
Yes, vaginal discharge is completely normal. It helps in the prevention of infections by acting as a barrier to the vagina and cervix. The discharge is slightly acidic and consistency changes at different stages of the menstrual cycle. During ovulation it is watery and slimy, near to menstruation discharge is thick. The normal color of vaginal discharge is greyish-white. So, any difference in color, consistency, or pH indicates infection.
