Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices are correct because vaginitis involves inflammation of the vagina, often due to infections, which can be distinguished by the causative agent (such as bacteria, yeast, or virus). Vaginosis, particularly bacterial vaginosis, refers to a dysbiosis or imbalance of the vaginal microbiota without significant inflammation. The presence and characteristics of vaginal discharge can also help differentiate between the two conditions, as well as between different types of infections causing vaginitis.
