Abstract
Allergic reactions of the lower genital tract in women cause significant chronic vulvovaginal discomfort and require active diagnosis and treatment. Modern approaches to therapy, which combine allergen elimination and anti-inflammatory therapy, can achieve improvement or cure in most cases. Obstetricians-gynecologists are recommended to involve dermatovenerologists and allergists for joint management of patients in case of non-standard cases of vaginitis. From a scientific point of view, further studies of immune mechanisms in the genital tract and the development of new methods of specific therapy and prevention remain relevant. In the future, the results of such studies will help to develop more accurate clinical guidelines and improve the effectiveness of care for these patients. Successful treatment of allergic diseases of the vulva and vagina significantly improves the quality of life, restores a woman's confidence and comfort in everyday and intimate life. Developing an interdisciplinary approach, education, and a thoughtful method for addressing symptoms can help overcome many difficulties in diagnosing and treating this condition. The identified unresolved issues will serve as the starting point for new research and progress in this field of medicine.
