The causes section needs to be looked at. These are not causes, they are symptoms.
Not true. This section lists the causative organisms. It even mentions diabetes as a predisposing factor. What else do you want? JFW | T@lk00:17, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, the section on identification by color goes from color to all other forms of identification EXCEPT color. I think we have a problem there. SadanYagci (talk) 20:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is in regards primarily to Northrup's quotation: “some women respond to a perceived boundary violation with a vaginal infection.”
Sounds eerily similar to that whole "If a woman gets raped, her body will reject the sperm and she won't get pregnant!" crap that flew around a while back. This is utter bullshit, probably. It needs a more reliable source, or should at least be prefaced with "holistic medicine practitioner Northrtup..."
The "dubious - discuss" tag had been on there since May 2015. I have just removed it and used the word "claimed" to show that this is not concretely proven. Northrup's book is a feel-good self-help book, not a professional medical text. Equinox (talk) 00:49, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I watch TV several times a day and they spam a commercial about this condition several times on TV. Are their claims validated? It seems the medication name on TV they mention should have a link to this article as well if there is not already a medication on WP that goes in details about its treatment options JasonHockeyGuy (talk) 05:28, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Since both topics are covering the same thing, I agree that the Vaginal infections article isn't needed. The term vaginal infections should be redirected to this article, but we should not merge any redundancy into this article. Also, since vulvovaginitis redirects to this article, the lead should state what vulvovaginitis is -- inflammation of both the vagina and vulva.

Vaginitis is the description of the inflammation of the vagina. Vaginal infection is an infection. A woman can have a vaginal infection without vaginitis, and someone else have vaginitis but have no infection. These are not equivalent terms. Also, it is possible to have vaginitis and not have inflammation of the vulva.
Not sure, Aerobic vaginitis is tagged as start class at present, which implies that it will probably be a fair bit larger by the time it is complete. Is there any point in merging what appears to be a legitimate subtopic if it is likely to have to be split out again? Similarly, at present Vaginitis is not over-sized, but is it likely to get that way in the near future? I would think these articles could be merged but do not need to be merged without a good reason, which has not been put forward yet. • • • Peter (Southwood)(talk): 05:54, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Undecided for now, although I am usually for merging a subtopic when the main article is not too big and the sub-article is relatively small. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 16:10, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
