THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF VAGINAL FLUOR

Vaginal discharge in small amount is common by every woman. It becomes pathologic if its amount raises, if it changes colour and if there are any additional symptoms as itching, burning, dysuria, dyspareunia or pain. There are a lot of reasons for vaginal discharge and some of them can have substantial effects (e. g. secondarily sterility after chlamydia infection or infection by gonococci), therefore the vaginal efflux should not be underestimated. The etiology should be found and the reason for discharge causally solved.

Keywords: vaginal discharge, fluor vaginalis, vulvovaginitis, colpitis, dyspareunia.
