"Common types of vaginal infections include bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis.
Symptoms of vaginal infections may include itching, burning, unusual discharge, odor, pain during sex, and discomfort during urination. Treatment depends on the specific type of infection and may involve antibiotics, antifungal medications, or other medications.
Preventing vaginal infections involves maintaining good hygiene practices such as washing the genital area with mild soap and water, wearing clean and dry underwear, avoiding the use of douches, and practicing safe sex by using condoms. It is also important to seek prompt medical attention if you suspect you may have a vaginal infection.
