Background: Vaginitis is one of the most common reasons for patients seeking a physician’s care. Cervicitis is cervical inflammation due to infectious or noninfectious pathogens and can be acute or chronic. Some of these pathogens are transmitted to sexual partner or cause morbidity in gynecological surgery. Furthermore, bacterial vaginosis is a cause of morbidity in pregnancy. This study reviews screening and management of common vaginitis (bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis, trichomonas and desquamative inflammatory vaginitis).
Methods: With search in academic books in obstetrics and gynecology and infectious disorder and search engines, new results about vaginitis is presented.
Results: Vaginitis can be cured spontaneously in candidiasis but in some women bacterial vaginosis is a cause of morbidity in pregnancy and gynecological surgery.
Conclusion: By understanding the pathophysiology of these diseases and having an effective approach to their diagnosis, physicians can institute appropriate therapy to treat these conditions and reduce long-term sequelae.
