A member asked:

Can vaginitis the same as a yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Michael Ein answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Yes and No: Vaginitis means inflammation of the vagina. It has several different causes including yeast infection. It is also commonly caused by trichomonas and bacterial vaginosis. So yeast infection can cause vaginitis but not all cases are due to yeast.
