However, it should be considered as a possible diagnosis in girls with persistent vaginaldischarge.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The development of the intestinal metaplasia coincided with the onset of a vaginaldischarge so severe that, after 7 years, a vaginal resection was performed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As a result, abnormally heavy vaginaldischarge can occur. Because heavy vaginaldischarge can also indicate infection, it is important that you work with a medical professional to be sure the issue is vaginal adenosis.[hystersisters.com]

Vaginal adenosis and clear cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina occurred in a 44-year-old woman after treatment for condylomata acuminata. She had no known exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) in utero.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment of vaginal adenosis with the carbon dioxide laser did not significantly reduce the incidence of development of new dysplasia in the DES-exposed offspring.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Due to a poor response to metronidazole and tetracycline treatments, unipolar cauterization was performed with successful removal of the lesions.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the female genital tract is a rare entity with aggressive clinical behavior and a poor prognosis. This kind of malignancy arising in the vagina is extremely rare.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Until the natural history of sufficient numbers of these variants of vaginal adenosis have been studied, the analogous cervical condition may serve as a guide to prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis It is expected that the vast majority of patients will have squamous metaplasia and epithelialization with complete resolution of the adenosis.[tipsdiscover.com]

In DES-exposed females, the incidence of adenosis is higher; the etiology presumably is from the effect of the DES on the developing embryologic system.[tipsdiscover.com]
