As with any other part of the body, there are many diseases which can affect the vagina. Some of these diseases are venereal— that means, caught through sexual contact. Many are not. This article deals with some vaginal infections which are extremely common. Although these infections do not have the disastrous physical consequences on the whole body of V.D. (syphilis and gonorrhea) as so many women know, they can cause extreme discomfort and emotional disturbance.
Unfortunately, because we are not taught enough about our bodies and how they work, and because of the stigmas which some people still attach to venereal disease and to our sexual organs in general, some women and girls are afraid to go to the doctor when they think they have an infection. In some cases the discomfort simply becomes part of their lives. Other women who go to a doctor get inadequate treatment — in both the attitude of the doctor towards them, and in the treatment itself.
In this article, our aim is to give you enough information so that you can demand the best possible treatment for yourself. It also tells you what steps you can take to prevent infection, and once you are sure what is wrong, how you can treat yourself if you choose to do so.
The information in this article has come from many sources, but mainly from work done by Leichardt Women’s Community Health Center and Liverpool Women’s Health Center.
