Vaginitis is one of the most common complaints of women in the United States today. About 90% of patients with this problem suffer from infection of the vagina caused by Candida, Gardnerella, or Trichomonas. The diagnosis and effective treatment of these common infections depend on accurate identification of the entity, effective specific therapy, and restoration of the normal ecosystem of the vagina. At the same time women should be made aware that not all discharge means infection and that any attempts at self-treatment may only worsen their condition. Proper hygiene habits, dietary control, and management of stress are all helpful factors in the control of recurrent vaginal infections.
阴道炎是当今美国女性最常见的疾病之一。患有此问题的患者中约90%患有由念珠菌、加德纳菌或滴虫引起的阴道感染。这些常见感染的诊断和有效治疗取决于准确识别病原体、有效的特异性治疗以及恢复阴道正常生态系统。同时，应让女性意识到并非所有分泌物都意味着感染，任何自我治疗的尝试都可能只会使病情恶化。良好的卫生习惯、饮食控制和压力管理都是控制复发性阴道感染的有益因素。
