Vaginitis from a Holistic Perspective

Vaginitis is the inflammation of mucosa that lines the walls of the vagina. It causes itching, pain and a foul smelling discharge from the vagina. The color of the discharge helps in diagnosing the kind of infection that led to Vaginitis. It can cause complications if it occurs during pregnancy. It is a very common condition and can affect women of any age group.

Vaginitis Causes

Common causes of Vaginitis are as follows:

• Yeast Infection: Such an infection occurs when the normal bacterial environment of the vagina is disturbed. It triggers an overgrowth of fungus, leading to vaginitis. Common factors leading to such a situation are medications, uncontrolled diabetes and hormonal disturbances. It is characterized by thick, white vaginal discharge. It causes lot of itching and redness of the vagina and the vulva.
• Bacterial Infection: This results from overgrowth of bacteria that are normally present in the vagina. It is commonly seen in women who are sexually active. Use of intra uterine devices for birth-control increases the chances of developing vaginitis due to bacterial infection.
• Parasitic Infection: This is caused due to a parasite called 'Trichomonas Vaginalis'. It spreads through sexual intercourse.
• Hormonal Imbalance: Any drop in the hormonal levels may trigger an episode of Vaginitis.
• Allergy: Vaginitis may be a result of an allergic reaction to a foreign substance introduced in the vagina, such as sprays, soaps, condoms, lubricants.

Signs and Symptoms of Vaginitis 

Vaginitis is usually asymptomatic in the initial stages. Signs and symptoms develop at a later stage. Vaginitis needs to be attended to immediately, as it is common for the infection to spread higher up.

Common signs and symptoms of vaginitis are as follows:

• Vaginal Itching
• Foul odor from the vagina
• Inflammation of vaginal opening
• Excessive vaginal discharge, which varies in color, depending on the type of infection.
• Pain while passing urine and during sexual intercourse

Diagnosis of Vaginitis

It is always advisable to consult a doctor if you have any abnormal vaginal discharge. The specialist takes a complete medical history, including the history of sexually transmitted diseases. Color of discharge is usually suggestive of the cause. It is grayish-white in case of a bacterial infection, thick and white in case of a yeast infection, and greenish-yellow in the case of a parasitic infection. The discharge from vagina is subjected to a microscopic examination and culture test to detect sensitivity to drugs.

The most common allopathic treatments for Vaginitis include antibiotics such as metronidazole and antifungals such as flucanazole and clotrimazole. However, these Allopathic treatments do not cure Vaginitis. They are merely a way of suppressing the symptoms.

Also, treatment of vaginitis depends on the underlying pathology and they are:

• Anti-fungal creams and suppositories such as Miconazole or Clotrimazole, are used for yeast infection. Oral anti-fungal medications like Fluconazole may be required if vaginitis does not get resolved with local applications.
• Bacterial vaginitis is treated with antibiotics like Metronidazole or Clindamycin, administered orally or as local applications.
• Vaginitis caused by parasitic infections like Trichomonas is treated with oral Metronidazole.
• Vaginitis due to hormonal imbalances is treated by oral hormonal preparations or estrogen creams.
