Executive Summary
OTC, ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE VAGINITIS REMEDIES HEALTH BENEFIT QUESTIONED by Paul Nyirjesy, MD, et al., Temple University, in a study published in the July issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology. "Women with chronic vaginal symptoms often use over-the-counter and alternative medicines that add to health care costs and are unlikely to be of benefit," Nyirjesy and colleagues state. For the purposes of Nyirjesy's study, vaginitis comprises a variety of gynecological inflammations or infections, including yeast infections and bacterial infections.
