Question

One of your neighbours is suffering from itching, fluid discharge, slight pain and swelling in the genital region. What do you think the disease she is suffering from?

Answer 1

Vaginitis occurs due to an imbalance of microorganisms residing in the vagina. These bacteria act as a natural barrier against infection and keep pathogens in check. Sometimes harmful organisms multiply in the vaginal region resulting in this disease.

To prevent such diseases the following should be done-

1. Practice careful hygiene

2. Bathe daily

3. Do not wear tight clothing

4. Probiotics containing lactobacillus reduce vaginitis infections.
