Sexually transmitted diseases. Lower genital tract infections in women.
Infections of the female urinary tract, cervix, vulva, and vagina produce a variety of overlapping symptoms, including vulvar pruritus, dysuria, dyspareunia, and increased or altered vaginal discharge. Recent studies have considerably improved our understanding of the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these infections.
