The most common causes of vaginitis, candida (monilia, yeast infection) and bacterial vaginosis are due to imbalances in the vaginal environment. Often, they will resolve on their own without treatment, but most women prefer to take treatment to get rid of symptoms more quickly. Atrophic vaginitis, due to decreased estrogen, will often improve without treatment, but treatment can improve comfort and health in the interim. Vaginitis due to chemical irritants or allergens will also often resolve without treatment. Trichomoniasis, a cause of vaginitis spread by sex, needs treatment to go away.
