Resumen
Se denomina como vulvovaginitis al proceso inflamatorio que se desarrolla
a nivel de la vagina y la vulva, donde su etiología radica generalmente en la colonización
por parte de microorganismos infecciosos como es el caso de la Trichomona vaginalis, la
Candida albicans o la Gardenella vaginalis.
Objetivo: Determinar las características clínicas maternas y fetales de los casos de
Vulvovaginitis en pacientes gestantes atendidas durante el periodo de estudio. Materiales
y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal, observacional y correlacional y
retrospectivo; recopilando información de tipo primaria de una base de datos del Hospital
General del Norte IESS Los Ceibos de la ciudad de Guayaquil. Resultados: Se obtuvo
una muestra de 155 pacientes. En el análisis de la distribución de casos según la edad, se
observa una media de 24,38 años, con una desviación estándar de 6,12 años. El 65,2%
corresponde a una clase socioeconómica baja. El 73,5% de los presentaron ETS. El prurito
es el mayor síntoma con 80,6%, seguido por la disuria que reportó con 76,1%. Conclusión:
La edad de la gestante entre 18 y 30 años, así como una clase socioeconómica de grado
baja, comprenden las principales características epidemiológicas asociadas al desarrollo
de vulvovaginitis bacteriana en gestantes. Los síntomas que más se presentaron fue el
