Vaginal Inflammation
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Vaginal inflammation, also known as vaginitis, is the irritation or inflammation of the vagina that may be accompanied by changes in discharge, discomfort, or itching. It is a very common reason for a gynecological visit that can appear at any age.
Frequent symptoms: itching or burning, changes in the color or odor of the discharge, discomfort when urinating or during intercourse, and redness or tenderness of the area.
Common causes: infections, alterations in the natural balance of the vaginal flora, contact with irritating substances such as certain soaps, or the hormonal changes typical of different stages.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who evaluates and guides this type of discomfort; a first check-up can also be started by the family physician. If the symptoms are persistent or recurrent, it is advisable to have a professional identify the cause before resorting to self-treatment.
