Treatment
Treatment for vaginal infextions typically depends on the type of infection present. Bacterial vaginosis, the most common vaginal infection but is treated with antibiotics, either oral or applied in a vaginal cream. For the common yeast infection, there are over-the-counter creams and vaginal suppositories found in the feminine health section. Trichomoniasis, chlamydia, and viral vaginitis are treated with prescribed medicines specific to the diagnosis. Non-infectious vaginitis, an infection caused by an introduction of a new irritant in the area of the vulva, is treated by getting rid of the cause (such as a new fabric softener or body wash).
