Most women will have at least one episode of vaginitis during their lives, and others will have recurring episodes.
Usual symptoms are vaginal discharge and vaginal itching or burning.
Sometimes women complain of burning on urination or dryness with intercourse. There are three major types of vaginitis. They are yeast vaginitis, non-specific or bacterial vaginitis and 'trich' or trichomoniasis. There are some less common forms which can also occur. Generally, women develop yeast vaginitis after a change in the vaginal environment.
