Our vaginal and vulvar video hub provides easy-to-follow information on common vulvovaginal concerns such as infections, itching, dryness, discharge, pain, and more.
Overview
There are many conditions that affect the vagina (the internal muscular canal) and the vulva (the external part of the female genitalia) such as thrush and vulvitis.
Vaginal thrush
Vaginal thrush, also known as a vaginal yeast infection or candidiasis, is a common fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida - a type of yeast that normally lives in small amounts in the vagina.
Bartholin's cyst
A Bartholin's cyst is a fluid-filled cyst that forms on one of the Bartholin's glands, which are small glands located just inside the opening of the vagina.
