La patologia vaginale è una delle più controverse da affrontare, per la complessità dei meccanismi che spesso ne sono alla base e i contenuti oliscici che dovrebbero costituirne la prevenzione e il trattamento. Il testo intende fornire una guida pratica, concisa e schematica per capire meglio le cause che possono determinare i più frequenti quadri di malattia infiammatoria vaginale, cercando di approfondire anche gli elementi oggi imprescindibili per garantire una diagnostica di eccellenza e gli approcci meno invasivi e naturali che portino alla guarigione, a parità di efficacia terapeutica. Chi abbia a cuore, infatti, i precari equilibri dell'ambiente vaginale non può che propendere, quando possibile, per un atteggiamento più fisiologico, che potremmo definire di "probiosi", orientato cioè a mantenere quanto più possibile inalterato il naturale sistema di difesa vaginale, aiutandolo semmai a ritrovare nel tempo l'equilibrio perduto.
