Treatment:





Chemical/physical destruction (cryo, podophyllin, 5% podofilox, TCA)
Immune modulation (imiquimod)
Excision
Laser
Other: 5-FU, interferon-alpha,
sinecatchins
 High rate of RECURRENCE
 Gardasil covers HPV 6, 11
Bottom Line Concepts
 Appropriate diagnosis of vaginitis will ensure appropriate
treatment. The various forms of vulvovaginitis are easily
confused by patients.
 Be familiar with appropriate STI screening guidelines and
review them at all preventive care visits.
 The CDC provides excellent information on treatment of STI’s.
 The only truly effective preventive measures is abstinence
from sexual activity.
 Condoms and dental dams are the only preventive measure
we have for patients who are sexually active.
