Vaginitis is not a Yeast Infection!Often we mistake a vaginitis for a yeast infection, when really; a yeast infection is one of several types of vulvovaginitis. A vaginitis is basically an inflammation of the vaginal mucous. It is usually associated to either an irritation or an infection of the vulva. The types of infections are:
There are other forms of infections, but they are much less common. They are caused by chlamydia, herpes, campylobacter, parasites, mycoplasma and gonorrhoea. Causes of irritations can vary, and can be caused by allergic reaction or sensitivity to certain products.

It can also be caused by hot tubs, abrasion, tissue, certain fibres, tampons or topical medications. Once a vulvovaginitis has been detected, there are a few things that should be done.
