Vaginitis
Vaginitis is an inflammation of the mucus membranes lining the vagina. Symptoms include burning, itching and abnormal vaginal discharge. Any number of causes, including bacterial or fungal infection, vitamin B deficiency, intestinal worms or excessive douching, may bring about this problem. Vaginitis can also be infectious, and is often caused by sexually transmitted organisms. Other contributing factors are poor hygiene, tight clothing, pregnancy, use of antibiotics and diabetes.
