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).

Famous quotes containing the word treatment:
“I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts.... The question “Why did you start using narcotics in the first place?” should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
