Get Vaginitis Treatment - my.clevelandclinic.org

There's no one cause of vaginitis, which means there's no one-size-fits-all solution, either. At Cleveland Clinic, treatment for vaginitis is highly personalized, from diagnosis to resolution and every step in between.

After your healthcare provider has figured out what's causing your vaginitis, they'll craft a treatment plan that best fits your needs.

Depending on the type of fungi present in your vagina, your provider may prescribe a pill, an antifungal cream or a suppository that you put into your vagina. This is a common course of treatment if it's your first time having vaginitis or if you rarely experience this condition.

If you have chronic vaginitis and typical medications have failed, your provider may prescribe a course of treatment that has been specially formulated for you.

If your healthcare provider determines that your vaginitis is noninfectious (meaning there's no fungi present in your vagina), your treatment will vary depending on the cause. If it's happening because of a chemical in a product you use (an outside irritant) or from a decrease in estrogen (atrophic vaginitis), we might suggest changes to help.

Taking the Next Step

Vaginal pain and itchiness aren't symptoms that you have to push through or endure. And while some vaginal discharge is normal, any changes in color, texture, smell and volume can be a sign that there's a problem. Sometimes mild cases of vaginitis go away on their own — but why wait to find out? If you're having problems that you suspect might be vaginitis, our providers are here to help you get to the bottom of it and to help you find relief.

Cervical cancer is when cells in your cervix grow out of control. Cervical cancer is an overgrowth of cells in your cervix, which is the opening between your vagina and uterus. (Photo Credit: iStock/Getty Images) Anyone with a cervix is at risk for cervical cancer. However, the most common cause is long-term infection with certain strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). When cervical cancer is diagnosed early, it's very treatable. In the early stages, cervical precancers or cancers generally cause no pain or other symptoms. That's why it's vital for people with a cervix to get regular pelvic exams and Pap tests to detect cancer in its early stages when it's still highly treatable. The early stages of cervical cancer are stages I and II.  Stage I cancer i...

thrush on genital area :: Article Creator Vaginal Thrush: What's Up 'down There'? There are a number of myths circulating about vaginal thrush - like that a lack of hygiene is the cause or that yoghurt-dipped tampons are a home remedy. Here's what every woman should know about this common cause for itching and burning. Christin Klose/dpa With symptoms that include itching and burning, vaginal thrush is no fun. Many women are understandably reluctant to talk about it, although medical experts say that three out of four get it at least once in their lifetime. Also called vaginal yeast infection or vulvovaginal candidiasis, vaginal thrush is caused by an overgrowth of candida, a type of yeast, which is a type of fungus.
