Mixed Vaginosis

When a vaginal infection develops in which different microorganisms coexist at the same time, it is often called mixed vaginosis, a disruption of the natural balance of the intimate flora.

Common symptoms: Discharge with changes in color, odor, or consistency, along with irritation, burning, or itching in the genital area. Discomfort can vary from one person to another and is sometimes accompanied by discomfort when urinating.

Common causes: It is usually associated with imbalances in the vaginal flora due to hormonal changes, inadequate hygiene, prior antibiotic use, or other factors that alter the intimate environment.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the right professional to identify the type of infection and guide its management, while the general practitioner can provide initial guidance. If you have abnormal discharge or discomfort that does not go away, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional for an appropriate, personalized evaluation.
