Atrophic vaginitis

Symptoms:

• vaginal soreness--may be an itching or burning sensation.
• slight vaginal discharge
• burning on urination
• light bleeding after intercourse
• painful sexual intercourse
• urine, bloody - usually blood is from the vaginal opening

Signs and tests:

A pelvic examination reveals thin, pale vaginal walls. A wet prep (microscopic evaluation of vaginal discharge) may be done to rule out other causes of vaginitis. Hormonal studies may be done if menopausal status is uncertain.
