Vaginitis is an inflammation or infection of the tissues of the vagina. The dominant female hormone estrogen helps to keep the vagina moist and flexible from puberty on through menopause. After menopause the estrogen levels drop and this decrease causes vaginal irritation, inflammation, and infections. Vaginitis that is due to this lack of estrogen is also called atrophic or postmenopausal vaginitis.

Symptoms may include:

  • Itching
  • Burning
  • Painful urination
  • A thin, watery discharge which may be sticky
