Use the appropriate code as follows:
- For chronic or subacute, use Vagina, vaginitis, chronic
- for acute, use Vagina, vaginitis, acute
Includes vaginitis caused by:
- Trichomonas vaginalis (code as Protozoa, NOS): Sometimes referred to as trich or trichomoniasis, it is caused by a sexually transmitted, single-celled protozoan parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis. It may infect other parts of the urogenital tract, including the urethra
- Candida albicans (code as Candida species): Also known as vaginal thrush. Candida exists in small amounts in the gut and is normally kept in check by normal gut bacteria.
- Bacterial (code as applicable Category:Bacteria) : Results from a change of the normal bacteria found in your vagina to overgrowth of other organisms
- Noninfectious - caused by: Vaginal sprays, douches, perfumed soaps, scented detergents and spermicidal products may cause an allergic reaction or irritate vulvar and vaginal tissues. Foreign objects, such as tissue paper or forgotten tampons, in the vagina can also irritate vaginal tissues.
