Vaginal Infection Diagnosis and Treatment

Vaginal infections are common and treatable, but if left unaddressed, they can cause discomfort, disrupt daily life, and lead to more serious complications. At NUR Fertility in Nairobi, we offer professional and confidential diagnosis and treatment of vaginal infections, helping women of all ages regain comfort and confidence in their health.

What Is a Vaginal Infection?

A vaginal infection occurs when the natural balance of bacteria and yeast in the vagina is disrupted. This can result in irritation, unusual discharge, itching, odor, or pain. The most common types of vaginal infections include:

  • Yeast infections (Candidiasis)

  • Bacterial vaginosis (BV)

  • Trichomoniasis (a sexually transmitted infection)

  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia or gonorrhea

While symptoms can be similar, the cause and treatment for each type of infection are different, which is why professional diagnosis is essential.

Common Symptoms to Watch For

If you experience any of the following symptoms, it may be a sign of a vaginal infection:

  • Unusual or increased vaginal discharge

  • Foul or fishy odor

  • Itching or irritation

  • Burning sensation during urination

  • Pain during intercourse

  • Vaginal redness or swelling

These symptoms may appear suddenly or develop gradually. Seeking timely care ensures accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Our Diagnostic Process

At NUR Fertility, we provide a safe, respectful, and private space where you can discuss your symptoms without fear or judgment. During your visit, our gynecologist will:

  • Review your symptoms and medical history

  • Perform a pelvic examination

  • Collect a sample of vaginal discharge for laboratory analysis

  • Conduct additional STI testing if needed

Our goal is to provide a clear diagnosis and identify the exact cause of your symptoms so we can treat it effectively.

Effective and Personalized Treatment

Once diagnosed, we create a personalized treatment plan based on the type of infection. Treatment options may include:

  • Antifungal medications for yeast infections

  • Antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis or STIs

  • Oral or topical prescriptions

  • Lifestyle and hygiene recommendations to prevent recurrence

We also provide guidance on avoiding triggers such as douching, harsh soaps, or unprotected intercourse that can contribute to infection.
