Vaginal Infection
Vaginal infection is a common gynaecological problem which can affect women of all ages. Menopausal women are more susceptible to vaginal infection because of lack of oestrogen.

Symptoms of vaginal infection include:
- Increase in the amount of discharge
- The discharge turns yellow or green, foul-smelling or bloodstained
- Itching, pain or redness around the vulva
- Pain during urination

Women during pregnancy are relatively susceptible to vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis is diagnosed in around 15% to 20% of pregnant women. By measuring their vaginal pH regularly, pregnant women can reduce the risk of infection.

Vaginal pH can increase in the event of,
- Bacterial vaginosis
- Sexually transmitted diseases
- Premature rupture of the amniotic sac (waters breaking)

Candidiasis (Moniliasis)
A type of yeast (fungus). Many women have recurrent infection which may be due to small amount of yeast colonised inside the vagina.

When there are changes in the body or vaginal environment, candida will multiply and cause vaginal infection. These changes include pregnancy, diabetes, taking high dose oral contraceptive pills, antibiotic use, chronic illness, or wearing tight-fitting clothing or synthetic underwear. Symptoms of candidiasis include itching, pain or redness around the genital area, thick white vaginal discharge and painful intercourse.
