Vulvovaginitis

Vulvovaginitis ( 24 Questions)

A client presents with a thin, frothy, green-yellow vaginal discharge with a foul musty odor. Which condition is most likely to be the cause?


Correct Answer: C

Choice A rationale:

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) typically presents with a thin gray or white discharge and is associated with a fishy odor. It is not known for a green-yellow discharge.

Choice B rationale:

Candidal vulvovaginitis (CV) often presents with a white, thick, cottage cheese-like discharge, not a green-yellow discharge.

Choice C rationale:

Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection can result in a thin, frothy, green-yellow vaginal discharge with a foul musty odor. This infection is sexually transmitted and may also cause itching and irritation.

Choice D rationale:

Atrophic vaginitis (AV) is not associated with a frothy, green-yellow discharge but rather with symptoms related to estrogen deficiency and vaginal thinning.
