Bacterial Vaginosis is caused by an over-growth of the bacteria normally found in the vagina. About half of the women with this type of infection do not have any symptoms. Treatment consists of an antibiotic given either by mouth or as a cream in the vagina. Burning may increase with urination. The vaginal discharge tends to be white, clumped and cottage cheese like in appearance.
Treatment consists of an Anti-fungal medication used in the vagina or a pill taken by mouth.
It is sexually transmitted by a parasite and causes heavy, sometimes foul smelling vaginal discharge that is greenish, gray or yellow in color. Burning or itching may also occur. Women should not take this medicine in the first 3 months of a pregnancy. This infection is spread by sexual contact with another person or from the mother to the child during birth. Chlamydia infections are often overlooked because the symptoms are very mild or are totally absent.
