Diagnosis
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical examination. He or she may refer you to a doctor specializing in women’s reproductive health (a gynecologist). Tests used to diagnose atrophic vaginitis include:
- A test of the acid-base balance (pH balance) of the vagina
- A swabbing of a small part of the vaginal wall—The cells are collected and tested to determine if estrogen is present.
