What Causes Abnormal Vaginal Discharge

Vaginal discharge that changes in color, odor, or texture may be a sign of vaginitis. Vaginitis is an irritation of the vagina
that may also cause itching, burning, redness, or swelling. This condition can be uncomfortable but is easy to treat once it is diagnosed.

Vaginitis in women is most often caused by one of these common vaginal infections:

• Vaginal candidiasis, or “yeast”
• Bacterial vaginosis, or BV
• Trichomoniasis, or “trich”

Why Test?

Vaginal discharge changes in color, odor, or texture may be a sign of vaginitis. Vaginitis is an irritation of the vagina that may also cause itching, burning, redness, or swelling. While in most cases the cause could be an imbalance in the vaginal flora, the cause could also be a sexually transmitted infection like chlamydia and gonorrhea. This can occur even if you have not been sexually active for awhile so it is important early to avoid complications. This condition can be uncomfortable but is easy to treat once it is diagnosed.

Vaginal discharge and related symptoms, such as itching, burning, and redness, can also be signs of chlamydia and gonorrhea. These are two of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They can cause very serious problems for women if they are not treated. The good news is that with the right treatment, both chlamydia and gonorrhea can be cured.

BV, yeast and trich infections may also put you at risk for serious problems if they are not diagnosed and treated. The Vaginal Health Combo panel can test for all 5 of these infections. And because the Baisc Benefits panel uses modern genetic technology that tests for more strains of bacteria than other panels, you can be assured of getting highly accurate results.
