Vaginal infections

Vaginal infections occur when harmful bacteria, yeast, or parasites grow excessively in the vaginal area, disrupting the natural balance. Common types include yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomoniasis. Symptoms might include unusual vaginal discharge, odor, itching, or discomfort. These infections are usually caused by changes in hygiene, antibiotic use, or other health factors. They are generally treatable with medications prescribed by a healthcare provider. Maintaining good hygiene, avoiding irritants, and practicing safe sex can help prevent infections. If symptoms occur, it's important to see a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
