Vaginal Infections

When the birth control pill took over as the main form of contraception for women, it replaced a variety of other methods, all of which acted as a barrier to sperm reaching an egg for fertilisation. But these methods did more than prevent sperm getting through, they also prevented diseases from entering the reproductive organs. Some of the classic STDs, such as syphilis, are in decline, but they have
been replaced by another group of infectious agents, which can cause
discomfort and more serious problems. The two main vaginal infections are caused by either a bacteria (bacterial vaginosis) or by a tiny parasite, known as Trichomonas vaginalis.
