Vaginal Problems Vaginal problems may occur from the use of birth control methods, the use of medicines, or aging, or as a result of changes after pregnancy. These problems include: * Retained tampon, birth control device, or foreign object. See how to remove an object from the vagina. * Noninfectious vaginitis. Examples of this include: ** An allergic reaction or irritation from chemicals, such as those found in vaginal sprays, douches, or spermicides. ** Hormone changes related to menopause, such as atrophic vaginitis. ** Use of antibiotics and other medicines, which may change the balance of organisms in your vagina. A young girl with unusual vaginal symptoms should be evaluated by her doctor to determine the cause. Vaginitis in a young girl may be caused by: * Pinworms that have spread from the anus to the vagina. * The spread of bacteria from an upper respiratory infection of the ears (otitis media) or throat (tonsillitis) to the vagina by her hands. A young girl with vaginal symptoms must also be evaluated for possible sexual abuse. Many conditions can cause a rash, sore, blister, or lump in your vaginal area (vulva). One of the most common causes of a rash is genital skin irritation that may occur when soap is not rinsed off the skin or when tight-fitting or wet clothes rub against the skin. A sore, blister, or lump in your vaginal area may require a visit to your doctor. Treatment of a vaginal problem depends on the cause of the problem, the severity of your symptoms, and your overall health condition. |
