Vaginal Infection
What is Vaginal Infection? Vaginal infection is a condition when there is excessive yeast growth in the vagina. There will be intense itching, swelling and irritation in women who get this infection. Vaginal infection is bothersome for the women who experience it. Candida Albicans is the type of yeast that causes the vaginal infection. It’s a very common disease in women. In India more than 1 crore cases of Vaginitis are reported each year. But there are many cases which are not reported at all. It is because women are always reluctant to discuss their personal problems with anyone not even with the doctors.
Vaginitis not only is painful but also affects women’s daily life. The women experience shame and frustration over their recurring symptoms and feel that they are inhibited in both their private life and their work life. The foul smelling discharge causes them to feel socially isolated. The research also shows that the symptoms contribute to a sense of lower self-esteem.
This make them stay away from society, isolated and frustrated throughout the day. Even then they do not contact a doctor. But this careless attitude might cause one’s doom. One must never step back from contacting a gynaecologist when affected from any such symptom. If a vaginal yeast infection is suspected, your health care provider will perform a pelvic exam and take a sample of the discharge from your vagina. Give a sample, that’s all you need to do for a healthy you.

But this quiz was developed by me so please do not depend entirely on the results. If you have ever suffered from any such symptoms, I urge you to contact a doctor right away. Do not think anything about what will people say. People’s comment does not matter as long as you are healthy. You are your everything and nobody else. Love yourself and be very considerate for your health.
I hope this blog would help many women out there who are suffering from Vaginal infection in silence. My next blog would be based upon how to prevent Vaginal Infection. Stay tuned.
