Filter by:Vaginitis among women of childbearing age is well acknowledged as a public health concern due to its high occurrence. Vulvovaginitis is a disorder of the vulva and/or vagina caused by infection, inflammation, or changes in the flora. There are many types of infections that affect the vagina, the most common three types of infection: bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and candidiasis. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection in women of reproductive age causing thin and milky vaginal discharge with a fishy odor. Trichomoniasis causes a frothy, greenish-yellow discharge with a foul smell. Vaginal Candidiasis is one of the most common fungal infections of the female genital tract and the second most common vaginal infection affecting women of reproductive age (after the bacterial infection worldwide. It affects more than 75% of women at least once in their lifetime, with approximately 50% of them also suffering a single recurrence. About 75% of patients suffering from candidiasis are asymptomatic, but it may be symptomatic with clinical picture characterized by itching, vaginal pain, vulvar burning sensation, dyspareunia, dysuria and mildly unpleasant odor, erythema and vulvar edema, white-yellowish plaques on the walls of the vagina and cervix and cheesy vaginal discharge. The risk of vulvo-vaginal candidiasis increases by 30% during pregnancy also in pregnancy, the presence of vaginitis is related to abortion, intrauterine infection, fetal growth retardation, premature rupture of membranes, preterm birth, low birth weight, puerperal infection, and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Vaginal microbiota is abundantly colonized by Lactobacillus genera. When vaginal microbiota gets altered, opportunistic microorganisms may proliferate and become abundant species giving rise to dysbiosis. Probiotics are living organisms that provide the host certain benefits. Despite probiotics have been historically linked to intestinal microbiota, several research groups have published positive results for some Lactobacillus strains in vaginal microbiota. The Lactobacillus strain investigated in the presented project showed the ability to prevent recurrent vaginal Candidiasis in women with high vaginal candidiasis prevalence. Nowadays the Lactobacillus strain here investigated is commercialized as vaginal caps, however oral intake is widely preferred among consumers. Because of that, this study aims to determine whether this Lactobacillus strain is able to colonize vaginal microbiota when administered orally.
It is still debatable whether that the transvaginal approach to vault closure or laparoscopic suturing are associated with lower risks of vaginal cuff complications . This study aims to compare the two approaches of closure of the vaginal cuff at the end of total laparoscopic hysterectomy as regards the vaginal cuff complications .
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI), especially among young women. Up to 75% of C. trachomatis infected women are asymptomatic. If untreated, C. trachomatis infection can cause sequelae such as pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy and tubal factor infertility. C. trachomatis can also cause anorectal infections, which are typically asymptomatic. Among women with urogenital chlamydial infection, around 36-91% also had concurrent anorectal chlamydial. Notably, there was no association with anal intercourse in the studies that reported it. However, guidelines do not recommend routine anorectal testing, but restricted testing in people who are in high-risk groups, report anal sexual behavior, or have anal symptoms, i.e., on selective indications. This is in contrast to urogenital testing, which is a routine procedure in STI care services. The anal transmission of C. trachomatis in women may occur by autoinoculation from the vagina due to the close proximity of the vagina and the anus. C. trachomatis could lead to a persistent infection in the lower gastrointestinal tract, suggesting the potential role of autoinoculation of cervical chlamydial infection from the rectal site. Such (repeat) urogenital infections could lead to reproductive tract morbidity. Recommended treatments for C. trachomatis infections are a single 1g dose of azithromycin or 100mg of doxycycline 2 times a day for 7 days. Although these two regimens are equivalent for urogenital infection, no study has compared the effectiveness of these two treatments on anorectal infection. If rectal C. trachomatis is a hidden reservoir influencing transmission rates, and considering the potential complications of cervical infections, providing further evidence of the need for effective rectal treatments among women is highly relevant.
Over recent years, a growing interest has developed in microbiota and in the concept of maintaining a special balance between Lactobacillus and other bacteria species in order to promote women's well-being. The aim of the study was to confirm that vaginal Lactobacilli long-lasting implementation in women with HPVinfections and concomitant bacterial vaginosis or vaginitis might be able to help in solving the viral infection, by re-establishing the original eubiosis.
To determine the effect of performing internal vaginal douching on the frequency and severity and type of vaginal infections in IUD users
Investigators will use dinoprostone(Propess TM) for cervix ripening and labor induction in term pregnant women.Vaginal pH base is achieved with the effect of hormones in pregnancy and associated with this, vaginal infections rates increase. With the vaginal application of Propess, the preparate remains in the vagina for a long time, with controlled release,creating a film layer against bacteria and especially fungal infections and it was thought that this could be a reason for unsuccessful birth induction by preventing release of this ovule. The aim of this study is to observe whether or not the rate of caesareans with the indication of unsuccessful induction was reduced in patients by reducing the density of vaginal bacteria and fungi with vaginal lavage and thereby increasing the effect of the drug and decreasing the rate of unsuccessful inductions.
In the present study, the investigators aim to evaluate the potential of oral probiotics, containing Lactobacillus strains, to eradicate and reduce the vaginal colonization with group B Streptococcus (GBS) during pregnancy. This could help to prevent neonatal morbidity and mortality by reducing the risk for neonatal sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis, known as early-onset or late-onset GBS infection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of terconazole gel in the treatment of vaginal infections
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronidazole gel in the treatment of vaginal infections.
