What are the common causes of vaginitis?

Patient's question:

Friend recently found that the discharge is quite dirty and abundant, but there is no itching or pain. Examination revealed that she has an infection, and she wants to consult about the common causes of vaginitis.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment principles for non-specific vaginitis are based on correcting the vaginal pH and using antibiotics targeting different pathogens, while eliminating the underlying cause and maintaining stable overall health. Common causes of non-specific vaginitis include vaginal injury, retained foreign objects (such as diaphragms, cotton balls, etc.), the use of corrosive medications, weakened immunity, prolonged uterine bleeding, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, endometritis, or vaginal surgery, which disrupt the normal vaginal state. To seek treatment, the first step is to identify the cause, followed by symptomatic treatment and preventive measures. Vaginitis is entirely preventable. It is important to change underwear daily and clean the local area.
