Infection<unk>  is often caused by an infection or the disruption of the healthy<unk> inal flora. The<unk> inal flora consists of those organisms which generally do not cause symptoms and is dominated mainly by Lactobacillus species. Disruption of the normal flora can cause a<unk> inal yeast infection.<unk> inal yeast infection can affect women of all ages and is very common. The yeast Candida albicans is the most common cause of<unk> . Specific forms of<unk> inal inflammation include the following types: Infectious<unk>  accounts for 90% of all cases in reproductive age women: * Candidiasis:<unk>  caused by proliferation of Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida krusei * Bacterial<unk> inosis:<unk>  caused by increased growth of Gardnerella (a bacterium). * Aerobic<unk>  Other less common infections are caused by gonorrhea, chlamydia, Mycoplasma, herpes, Campylobacter, improper hygiene, and some parasites, notably Trichomonas<unk> inalis. Rare cases of amebic<unk>  have been reported, primarily in tropical, developing countries. Women who have diabetes develop infectious<unk>  more often than women who do not. Further, either a change in pH balance or introduction of foreign bacteria in the<unk> ina can lead to infectious<unk> . Physical factors that have been claimed to contribute to the development of infections include the following: constantly wet vulva due to tight clothing, chemicals coming in contact with the<unk> ina via scented tampons, antibiotics, birth control pills, or a diet favoring refined sugar and yeast. Hormonal Hormonal<unk>  includes atrophic<unk>  usually found in postmenopausal women. Irritation/allergy Irritant<unk>  can be caused by allergies or reactions to<unk> inal sprays, douches, spermicides, soaps, detergents, or fabric softeners. It can also be caused by hot tubs, abrasion, tissue, tampons, or topical medications. Foreign body<unk>  (most common foreign bodies are retained tampons or condoms) may cause extremely malodorous<unk> inal discharges. Treatment consists of removal, for which ring forceps may be useful. Further treatment is generally not necessary.
