Vaginal health and infections

L C Andrist. J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs. 2001 May-Jun.

Abstract

Vaginal infections are one of the most common reasons women seek health care. Nurses play an important role not only in the assessment and management of vaginal infections but also in educating women about vaginal health. Understanding the ecology of the vagina, performing a proper microscopy, and recognizing risk factors associated with infections are key to vaginal health.
