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:
“If the study of all these sciences, which we have enumerated, should ever bring us to their mutual association and relationship, and teach us the nature of the ties which bind them together, I believe that the diligent treatment of them will forward the objects which we have in view, and that the labor, which otherwise would be fruitless, will be well bestowed.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“The treatment of the incident of the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore is so conciliatory and friendly that I am of the opinion that there is a good prospect that the differences growing out of that serious affair can now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory to this Government by the usual methods and without special powers from Congress.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
