These infections occur when there is an imbalance in the vaginal ecosystem, allowing harmful bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms to proliferate. In this article, we will explore the causes, symptoms and treatment options available for vaginal infections, aiming to provide comprehensive information and promote better understanding and awareness.
