Causes of vulval pain and discomfort — vaginal infections

Vaginal infections often affect not only the vagina but also the vaginal opening and the skin around it causing itching and pain. Getting a prompt diagnosis and treatment will alleviate symptoms and may reduce the amount of treatment you need. It is important to remember that not all women get all the symptoms associated with an infection. Also, symptoms may vary between different bouts of the same infection.

The most common infections with symptoms of vulval discomfort are thrush, bacterial vaginosis, trichomonas vaginalis and herpes simplex.
