    Recurrent vaginitis, often caused by Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Gardnerella vaginalis, affects many women. This study investigated the etiopathogenesis of recurrent vaginal infections in 60 women to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Context:

    • Vaginitis is a common gynecological issue, with Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Gardnerella vaginalis causing 90% of cases.
    • Recurrent vaginal candidosis affects 5-25% of women, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • The etiopathogenesis of recurrent vaginitis remains unclear, necessitating further investigation.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the clinical and etiopathogenetic factors of recurrent vaginitis.
    • To analyze the diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches for recurrent vaginal infections.
    • To identify potential causes and contributing factors for recurring vaginitis episodes.

    Summary:

    • A prospective study involved 60 women with recurrent vaginitis, characterized by symptoms like leukorrhea, burning, itching, dyspareunia, dysuria, or recurrent cystitis.

  • Participants reported at least three episodes of recurrent vaginal candidosis in the preceding year.
  • Diagnosis involved microscopic examination and vaginal pH determination for the first episode, with clinical examination or "telephonic" diagnosis for subsequent episodes, all treated with local antimycotic therapy.

    • Impact:

    • This study aims to clarify the definition and etiopathogenesis of recurrent vaginitis.
    • Findings may lead to improved diagnostic accuracy and more effective treatment strategies for recurrent vaginal infections.
    • Understanding the underlying causes can help reduce the recurrence rate and improve patient outcomes.
