title: Sexually transmitted vaginitis.
abstract: Urologic complaints in both men and women may be related to sexually transmissible infectious agents that frequently cause vaginitis in women. The author reviews the etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical presentations of the various types of vaginitis. Vaginal infections in women often have their counterparts in men. Control of these communicable infections requires a better understanding of the vaginitis syndromes.
