3. Risk Factors

Some people are more prone than others. Women who are pregnant or going through the menopause may develop vaginitis more frequently due to hormonal changes. Some medications make developing the condition more likely, including certain antibiotics. Women with diabetes are also at a higher risk. Other risk factors include contraception such as spermicides and IUD devices.
