These conditions were not detected in 635, 74, 33 and 52 women respectively. A variety of clinical symptoms included pathological vaginal discharge with putrefactive odor irritation, itchy and burning genitalia, painful intercourse, menstrual disorders, dysuria, drawing pain in the lower abdomen. Analysis of clinical data showed that vaginal discharge with putrefactive odor irritation, itchy and burning genitalia were the leading symptoms of PYVI documented in 59.4?2.7-76.9+2.3% of the examined patients. Each woman with PVI had at least 2 or 3 of these symnptoms which allows to regard them as markers of this condition. We distinguished 4 clinical forms of PVI: asymptomatic (14.5?2.0%), mild (34.8 +/- 32.1%), moderate (32.64 +/- 2.6%) and severe (18.2 +/- 2.1%). Asymptomatic form largely occurs in the patients using no antibiotics (47.7 +/- 6.2%) although the same group very frequently suffer severe PVI (34.4-6.1%). The prese...Continue Reading
