About Vulvovaginitis

Vulvovaginitis is not a single procedure but a common medical condition involving inflammation or infection of the vulva and vagina. An Obstetrics and Gynaecologist diagnoses and manages this condition through a comprehensive evaluation. The process typically involves a detailed medical history, a pelvic examination to assess for redness, swelling, or discharge, and often includes collecting samples (like a vaginal swab) for laboratory analysis to identify the specific cause, be it bacterial, fungal (like Candida), parasitic (like Trichomonas), or non-infectious (like irritants or hormonal changes). Treatment is then tailored precisely to the underlying cause, which may include antifungal creams, antibiotic tablets, or recommendations for lifestyle and hygiene adjustments to relieve symptoms like itching, burning, and abnormal discharge and prevent recurrence.
