&lt;p data-start=&quot;5923&quot; data-end=&quot;6059&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Treatment depends on the cause. &lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;5955&quot; data-end=&quot;5997&quot;&gt;Do not self-medicate if you are unsure&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, because the wrong product can worsen symptoms or delay care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6063&quot; data-end=&quot;6157&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;BV: antibiotics, sometimes oral or vaginal forms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6160&quot; data-end=&quot;6261&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Yeast infection: antifungal medication, oral or topical&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6264&quot; data-end=&quot;6415&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Trichomoniasis: oral treatment and partner treatment is usually needed because it is sexually transmitted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6418&quot; data-end=&quot;6560&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhoea): antibiotic treatment, partner management, and follow-up as advised&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p data-start=&quot;6602&quot; data-end=&quot;6849&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Partner treatment is important for sexually transmitted causes (for example, trichomoniasis, chlamydia, and gonorrhoea) to prevent ping-pong reinfection. Abstaining from sex during treatment is often advised.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;6851&quot; data-end=&quot;6896&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Reduce Recurrent Vaginal Infections&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;6898&quot; data-end=&quot;6976&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Recurrence is common, especially for BV and yeast. Practical prevention steps:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6979&quot; data-end=&quot;7012&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Avoid douching and scented washes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7015&quot; data-end=&quot;7062&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Use mild cleanser on external genital area only&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7065&quot; data-end=&quot;7147&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Wear breathable cotton underwear and avoid tight, sweaty clothing for long periods&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7150&quot; data-end=&quot;7184&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Change out of wet clothes promptly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7187&quot; data-end=&quot;7250&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Use condoms for STI risk reduction and limit number of partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7253&quot; data-end=&quot;7366&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Return for reassessment if symptoms recur quickly or after self-treatment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;7368&quot; data-end=&quot;7403&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;When to Seek Urgent Medical Care&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;7404&quot; data-end=&quot;7441&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;See a clinician promptly if you have:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7444&quot; data-end=&quot;7497&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Fever, pelvic pain, or worsening lower abdominal pain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7500&quot; data-end=&quot;7535&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Pregnancy with significant symptoms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7538&quot; data-end=&quot;7590&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Heavy bleeding or persistent postmenopausal bleeding&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7593&quot; data-end=&quot;7633&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Severe swelling, ulcers, or intense pain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7636&quot; data-end=&quot;7720&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Symptoms that do not improve after treatment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p data-start=&quot;4491&quot; data-end=&quot;4621&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Vaginal health depends on a stable microbiome and an acidic pH maintained by Lactobacillus. Triggers that disrupt balance include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;4624&quot; data-end=&quot;4672&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Antibiotics (can reduce protective bacteria)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;4675&quot; data-end=&quot;4741&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Douching or harsh cleansers (can alter pH and irritate tissue)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;4744&quot; data-end=&quot;4799&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Tight, non-breathable clothing and trapped moisture&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;4802&quot; data-end=&quot;4853&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Multiple partners or unprotected sex (STI risk)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;4856&quot; data-end=&quot;4914&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, cycle changes)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;4917&quot; data-end=&quot;5005&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Medical factors (diabetes, reduced immunity)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;8835&quot; data-end=&quot;9062&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re experiencing persistent vaginal odour, especially with discharge, itching, burning, or irritation, a quick consultation and simple vaginal swab test can usually identify the cause and guide targeted treatment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
