Vulvovaginitis is one of the most troublesome and common gynecological problems affecting a woman's health. Vulvovaginitis can be defined as inflammations that affect the vaginal walls causing local pH changes, pruritus and sometimes secretions. They are caused by bacteria (bacterial vaginosis), fungi (fungal vulvovaginitis), protozoa (trichomoniasis) and also by associated microorganisms called mixed vulvovaginitis.
