What are the different types of vaginitis?

Condition analysis: 

There are a number of different types of this condition, which have varying causes and symptoms. Some of the most common types of vaginitis are as follows:

1. Bacterial vaginosis

This is caused by the explosive growth of the bacteria that is usually present in small numbers in the vagina under normal conditions.

2. Yeast infection

A type of fungus is known as candida Albicans causes this type of infection.

3. Vaginal atrophy

This generally occurs after menopause and is caused by falling estrogen levels.

4. Trichomoniasis

This type of injection is sexually transmitted and caused by parasitic infestation.

Instructions: 

1. Apple Cider Vinegar: An excellent home remedy for bacterial vaginosis is apple cider vinegar. Due to its acidic nature, apple cider vinegar helps increase vaginal acidity. This makes it difficult for bad bacteria to survive and creates a better environment for good bacteria to thrive.

1). Add one to two cups of apple cider vinegar to your bath water.

2). Sit in the bath water for about 20 minutes.

3). Gently pat dry the vaginal area.

4). Do this once daily until the condition improves.

2. Yogurt: Probiotic yogurt that contains active cultures is one of the best home remedies for vaginitis. Studies have shown that yogurt containing the ‘good’ bacteria, lactobacilli, helps fight off bad bacteria.

It also helps maintain a healthy vaginal pH balance. All these factors provide relief from the various discomforts.

1). Dip a tampon in yogurt and put it in your vagina for a couple of hours. Repeat twice daily until the symptoms completely disappear.

2). Also, include plain yogurt daily in your diet.
