Can i have a vaginal infection caused by staph epidermidis ?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not likely: Staph epidermidis is a normal skin bacteria, infrequenlly causes infections, and is not a known cause of vaginal infection. The main causes of vaginal infection or symptoms (discharge, odor, itching, irritation etc) are yeast, bacterial vaginosis (overgrowth of mostly normal bacteria but not staph epi), and STDs like gonorrhea or chlamydia if at risk. See doctor if symptoms or uncertain.

No: Staphylococcus epidermis resides exclusively on the skin and can impact the vulva but not the vagina itself.
