Is vaginitis contagious?

Different types of vaginitis have different infectiousness. Vaginitis is the most common gynecological disease. Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis and bacterial vaginosis are transmitted through sexual contact and are sexually transmitted diseases. Atrophic vaginitis and vaginitis in infants and young children are often caused by low estrogen levels, which reduces local resistance and is not contagious.

1. The transmission routes of trichomoniasis vaginitis are: 1. Transmission through sexual contact: About 70% of men are infected after having unprotected sex with a female patient. The chance of males transmitting to women through sexual intercourse may be higher. Since men are often asymptomatic after being infected with trichomoniasis, they can easily become a source of infection. 2. Indirect transmission can be through public baths, bathtubs, bath towels, swimming pools, toilets, clothing or contaminated equipment.

2. Transmission routes of candidal vaginitis: 1 Mainly endogenous infection. Candida can parasitize not only in the vagina, but also in the human mouth and intestines. It is a conditional pathogen and can cause infection once the conditions are right. 2 A small number of patients can be directly infected through sexual intercourse. 3 A very small number of patients may be indirectly infected by contact with infected clothing.

3. Bacterial vaginosis: It is a mixed infection caused by the imbalance of normal flora in the vagina. It often gets worse after sexual intercourse, so it can be transmitted through sexual intercourse.
