bacterial vaginitis
trichomonal vaginitis

candidal vaginitis

Explanation:

Trichomonal vaginitis is often characterized by symptoms such as intense pruritus (itching), a "strawberry cervix" (a red, inflamed cervix with petechiae), dysuria (painful urination), and a copious, gray - green, bubbly discharge. Bacterial vaginitis typically has a fishy - smelling, thin, homogeneous discharge. Atrophic vaginitis is more common in post - menopausal women due to low estrogen levels. Candidal vaginitis usually has a thick, white, cottage - cheese - like discharge.

Answer:

Trichomonal Vaginitis
