"METHODS FOR PREVENTION, INHIBITION OR TREATMENT OF VAGINITE AND / OR BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS IN A FEMALE, FOR CONTROL AND INHIBITION OF TRICHOMONES, GARDNERELLA, OR OTHER BACTERIA CAUSING VAGINITE / VAGININE FOR VAGININE FOR PROGRESS REDUCING THE RISK OF VAGINITE AND / OR BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS IN A FEMALE ". A method is provided for the prevention, inhibition, or treatment of vaginitis or bacterial vaginosis using polystyrene sulfonate. Polystyrene sulfonate used in the present invention inhibits Trichomonas (a flagellated protozoan), Gardnerella, and other bacteria that cause vaginitis / vaginosis. The method of this invention generally comprises applying an effective amount of an inhibitory agent within a female's vagina which is in need of prevention, inhibition and / or treatment of bacterial vaginitis and / or vaginosis. Preferably, the polystyrene sulfonate is contained in an aqueous based composition, more preferably in a buffered aqueous based composition at a pH of about 3.5 to about 7.5, and most preferably in a buffered aqueous based composition. at a pH of about 3.5 to about 5.
