Hello-
vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina that can result in itching or irritation, a change in odor or amount of discharge from the vagina, pain during intercourse, painful urination, or light vaginal bleeding. There are four common types of vaginitis: bacterial vaginosis is an imbalance of vaginal bacteria that may lead to a grayish-white, fish-smelling discharge that may be more obvious after sexual intercourse. Trichomoniasis is characterized by a greenish yellow, sometimes frothy discharge. Atrophic vaginitis is characterized by itching, burning or pain in the vagina. Yeast infections usually result in itching, but you may have a white, thick discharge that resembles cottage cheese.
Vaginitis can be treated effectively with herbal supplementation. Tee tree oil and aloe vera are helpful for infections and is known for its healing effects. It can be applied topically to relieve itching or taken internally or used in a douche. Barberry has potent infection-fighting properties.
