Every year, around 100 million women worldwide are affected by genital infections which can cause vaginitis, cervicitis, and urethritis, and trichomoniasis (Shah et al., 2019). Young women alone already have an estimated incidence of vaginitis of 10-25% (Tavani et al., 2015).

The population is women of various age ranges. To present a systematic review of cross-sectinal approaches with 8 journals from 2016 to 2022. The results of the study (Prasanthi et al., 2017) for knowledge about vaginal discharge, 98.5% obtained <50% and only 8 (1.5% ) which has a score between 50% -75%.
