Abstract

Vaginal complaints are widespread among women and are associated with emotional, physical, and economic burdens with challenges in their diagnosis and management. In this survey, we identified that 40% of vaginitis in Taiwan was caused by either trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, or a combination of these infections.
