Vaginal discharge and HIV infection...


Vaginal discharge is either physiological or pathological. Those are causes of abnormal vaginal discharge :

1
Vaginal Yeast Infection
Vaginal yeast infections can cause irritation, itching, swelling, and discharge. Most women will get a vaginal yeast infection at least once in their life.



2
Vulvovaginitis
Vulvovaginitis is a common infection of the vulva and vagina. Symptoms may include itching, discomfort while urinating, and an increased amount of strong-smelling vaginal discharge .



3
Postmenopausal Atrophic Vaginitis
Postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis normally occurs after menopause. It can lead to increased vaginal infections and may make sexual intercourse painful.



4
Chlamydia Infection
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that may not present any noticeable symptoms. Unprotected sex with multiple partners leads to greater risk.


5
Urethritis
Urethritis is a condition in which the urethra, or the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside the body, becomes inflamed and irritated.


6
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the reproductive organs in women. It's marked by pain in the abdomen, especially during urination or sex.



7
Inflammation of the Cervix (Cervicitis)
Cervicitis is a condition that occurs when your cervix is inflamed due to an infection, allergy, sensitivity, or childbirth. It can cause pain and abnormal vaginal discharge .


8
Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease that affects warm, moist areas of the body. Early symptoms include pain when urinating and discharge.



9
Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis, sometimes called "trich," is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It is a very common infection, but fortunately it is very treatable.

10
Bacterial vaginosis
Bacterial vaginosis is a type of vaginal inflammation caused by the overgrowth of bacteria naturally found in the vagina, which upsets the natural balance.


11
Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease. It causes herpes sores, which are painful blisters (fluid-filled bumps) that can break open and ooze fluid.


Those are just some of the commonest causes of vaginal discharge. I tried to skip a lot of medical data that would be hard to swallow for ordinary people ..
All those increases greatly the risk of sexually transmitted diseases to a great extent , Especially HIV infection .. So proper treatment is necessary ..

  • You forgot the most common reason for vaginal discharge, and that is that the vagina is always self-cleaning and moving dead cells and matter out of the vagina. I healthy vagina will have discharge.
