Vaginitis – vaginal infection – Our doctor’s opinion
As part of its quality approach, Passeportsanté.net invites you to discover the opinion of a health professional. Dr Catherine Solano, general practitioner, gives you her opinion on the vaginitis :
The female genital area must be treated well to avoid vaginitis as much as possible. The most important thing is to leave her alone and not to attack her: no too tight underwear or jeans causing friction or irritation, no aggressive toilet, no daily antiseptics, no tampons or panty liners every day, no intimate fragrance, no intravaginal shower. And in case of problem, do not hesitate to consult your doctor. This area of your body deserves attention. Do not buy medicine if you are not sure of the diagnosis: it would be foolish to put your fertility at risk just because you mistake a sexually transmitted infection for a yeast infection.
