N76: Other inflammation of vagina and vulva
The group of conditions classified under "Other inflammation of the vagina and vulva" typically involve the swelling or irritation of these female reproductive parts. These conditions can result from a variety of causes, such as infections from bacteria, yeast, or viruses, as well as allergies to substances like soaps, fabrics, or feminine hygiene products. They can also be related to certain diseases, like sexually transmitted infections. Common symptoms may include itchiness, pain, redness, abnormal vaginal discharge, and discomfort during sexual intercourse. The progression of these diseases can vary significantly, depending on the underlying cause and the individual's health status. If left unchecked, some of these conditions might lead to more serious issues like fertility problems, while others may resolve without treatment.
