One of the basic things to understand when dealing with any type of vaginosis or vaginitis is: healthy natural bacteria and flora are essential in maintaining the delicate balance in the vagina and when an overgrowth of any one bacteria or yeast fungus is present in the vagina, conditions such as bacterial vaginitis, atrophic vaginitis, gardenella vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, vaginal yeast infection, or candida overgrowth like monilial vaginitis or candida albicans can manifest in the vagina.

Most treatments of bacterial vaginitis or atrophic vaginitis usually focus on identifying which vaginal bacteria or fungus that is over growing or causing the atrophy, and bringing that bacterial overgrowth back into a more natural balance in harmony with the other bacterium and flora present in the vagina. High stress levels and high sugar intake can contribute to bacterial and yeast overgrowths.
