Vulvovaginitis is more common problem of pregnant women that challenges the gynaecologist. It is an inflammatory condition of the vulva and vagina and characterized by vaginal discharge, pain & itching in external genital organs. Various pathogens are responsible for this condition such as bacteria, parasite, mycotic and virus.
