What are the symptoms of vaginitis? Experts from a gynecological hospital in Xi'an point out that women understanding the early symptoms of vaginitis can help them detect it promptly, allowing for earlier treatment and preventing vaginitis from causing greater harm or affecting fertility. So, what are the symptoms of vaginitis?
1. Symptoms of non-specific vaginitis
The main symptoms of non-specific vaginitis include a feeling of heaviness and burning in the vagina, accompanied by pelvic discomfort and general fatigue. There is an increase in vaginal discharge, which may appear purulent or serous with an odor. The irritation of the secretions on the urethral opening can cause frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination.
2. Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis
The main symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include increased leukorrhea (vaginal discharge), which appears grayish-white, thin, and foamy. The vaginal mucosa becomes congested, with scattered bleeding spots. There may be itching and a burning sensation in the external genitalia, along with a foul smell from the affected area.
3. Symptoms of trichomoniasis vaginitis
The main symptoms of trichomoniasis vaginitis include increased leukorrhea, which appears milky white or yellow, sometimes purulent, often foamy with an odor. In severe cases, there may be bloody leukorrhea, painful urination, frequent urination, and hematuria (blood in urine).
4. Symptoms of fungal (yeast) vaginitis
The most common symptom of fungal vaginitis is excessive leukorrhea, along with itching and a burning sensation in the vulva and vagina. These symptoms may extend to the urethra, causing frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. The leukorrhea typically appears as curd-like or clumpy discharge. The vaginal and vestibular mucosa become highly edematous, covered with a white curd-like film, which may appear in spots or patches and is easily peeled off. Beneath this film, there may be reddened, inflamed tissue or ulcers. In severe cases, the labia minora may swell and adhere. However, not all cases of fungal vaginitis present with these typical characteristics; the discharge can range from watery to curd-like. Some cases may only involve thin, clear serous secretions containing white flakes.
5. Symptoms of atrophic (senile) vaginitis
The main symptoms of atrophic vaginitis include increased leukorrhea, which is yellow and watery. In severe cases, it may become purulent with an odor, sometimes blood-tinged or accompanied by spotting. There may be itching or a burning sensation in the vulva, dryness and pain, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. If the condition extends to the urethra, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria may occur.
