It usually occurs in postmenopausal women, but it can also occur after bilateral ovariectomy or lactation. Gynecological examination showed that the vaginal mucosa showed atrophic changes, folds disappeared, epithelium was thin and smooth, vaginal mucosa was congested, red and swollen, and bleeding points or bleeding spots were also seen on the mucosa.

Poor drainage of inflammatory secretions can cause vaginal empyema or uterine empyema.
