(Português do Brasil) Secreções Vaginais

Differentiating vaginal discharges is essential to guide the diagnosis and appropriate management of various gynecological conditions. While some discharges are physiological and vary according to the menstrual cycle, others may indicate infections or pathological changes, such as bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Recognizing these differences allows early interventions, preventing complications and promoting the patient’s intimate health.

The simulation of vaginal discharges is performed using materials that reproduce textures, colors, and viscosities characteristic of different clinical conditions. These simulations allow students to identify changes such as the whitish and lumpy appearance of candidiasis or the fluid discharge with a characteristic odor of bacterial vaginosis, training diagnostic recognition skills.

Below, you will find the links for making each type of simulated discharge.

Physiological Vaginal Discharge
Candidiasis
Bacterial Vaginosis

Objective of the models:

  • Clinical skills training: Identification of different types of vaginal discharge and their possible causes.
  • Diagnostic improvement: Development of clinical reasoning to assess symptoms and indicate complementary tests.
  • Communication practice: Discussion of the approach to the patient, guidance on intimate hygiene, and infection prevention.
  • Interdisciplinary teaching: Presentation and simulation in academic settings and health education groups.
