Vaginal infections are extremely prevalent, particularly among women of reproductive age. Although not associated with high mortality, these illnesses cause severe suffering and lower quality of life.
In most situations, topical therapies for vaginal infections are just as effective as oral treatments, resulting in higher topical drug concentrations and fewer drug interactions and adverse effects.
Furthermore, microbial resistance to chemotherapeutic medications and the difficulty of treating recurrent infections highlight the need for more effective topical remedies.
However, standard dosing methods produce vaginal contractions and pain. To improve the availability of conventional drugs, development strategies such as bioadhesives, thermogel systems, microtechnological or nanotechnological approaches have been proposed, while other therapeutic approaches such as new drugs, plant extracts, and probiotics are being investigated.
This article discusses contemporary ways for treating and preventing the most prevalent vaginal infections, such as vaginal bacteriosis, aerobic vaginitis, vaginal candidiasis, and trichomoniasis.
