Many: "bacterial vaginosis" is the only vaginosis, but there are other types of vaginitis. There are different types of vaginitis including yeast vaginitis (yeast infection), bacterial vaginosis, trichomonas vaginalis infection, and non-infectious vaginitis due to chemical irritation. Treatment for vaginitis depends upon the cause.

Bacteria and Fungal: Vaginosis is typically a bacterial infection that results when the normal flora has been altered allowing for bacterial colonization. Several different species may be present but is typically composed of gardnerella and other bacteria. Other vaginal infections such as candidiasis or gonoccocal infection present with similar discharge and symptoms and should be investigated by a physician.
