| Summary: | Background & Objective: Bacterial vaginosis is the most
common cause of vaginitis among women of reproductive ages. This study
evaluated demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with
bacterial vaginosis to help diagnosis of patients referring to Ahvaz Amir
Almoomenin hospital.
Materials & Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional
study, 120 non-pregnant
women of 15-45 years in reproductive ages referring to Ahwaz Amir
Almoomenin hospital were
included after confirmed diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis based on Amsel
criteria. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used for
data analysis.
Results: 120 women with bacterial vaginosis
were studied. The mean age for bacterial vaginosis was 31.3 years. 68.3% had
sexual activity before 20 years. Their most common complaints were malodor
discharge (60%) and increased vaginal discharge (33.3%). Whiff test was
positive in 95.83% of patients. More than 20% of clue cells were in 96.6% of
them.. The discharge PH was greater than or equal to 4.5.
Conclusion: The patiensts most common
complaints were malodor discharge and increased vaginal discharge,
respectively. These symptoms help widely to diagnose bacterial vaginosis
