Vaginal diseases are, in many cases, sexually transmitted. However, most can also be non-venereal and can occur in any age-group. Special care should be taken in examining and treating young females with vaginal disease, and the possibility of sexual abuse should be considered in this age-group. Finally, special attention should be paid to girls and women exposed to diethylstilbestrol in utero, as these patients have an increased risk of anatomic and reproductive anomalies.
在很多情况下，阴道疾病是性传播的。然而，大多数阴道疾病也可能是非性传播的，可发生于任何年龄组。在检查和治疗患有阴道疾病的年轻女性时应格外小心，并且应考虑该年龄组存在性虐待的可能性。最后，应特别关注子宫内接触过己烯雌酚的女孩和妇女，因为这些患者发生解剖学和生殖异常的风险增加。
