Is bacterial vaginosis contagious?

I believe that most female friends are not unfamiliar with bacterial vaginosis. It is possible that you are suffering from bacterial vaginosis, but many people are confused. How can you get this gynecological disease when you are in good health? In fact, we may not know: bacterial vaginosis is contagious, so how is this disease mainly transmitted?

Trichomonas bacterial vaginosis is a common gynecological disease, which is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis parasitic in the vagina. Its main symptoms are increased leucorrhea, foamy, vulvar itching, burning sensation in the vagina and pain during sexual intercourse.

There are two ways of transmission of this disease:

① Direct infection: mainly refers to transmission through sexual intercourse, mostly because the female is infected. Through sexual intercourse, Trichomonas can be transmitted to the male's foreskin folds, urethra or prostate.

②Indirect transmission: It is indirectly transmitted through public baths, bathtubs, swimming pools, baths, toilets, clothes and mats.

Trichomonas bacterial vaginosis is completely preventable. Prevention methods include paying attention to personal hygiene, such as taking regular baths and changing underwear frequently; keeping the vulva clean and sexual hygiene; not borrowing underwear, bath towels and swimsuits from each other; taking showers; changing toilets to squat toilets; strengthening the management of swimming pools and public baths, and prohibiting patients with trichomoniasis or carriers from entering swimming pools or baths.

If you have bacterial vaginosis, you should seek treatment in time. You can take 0.2g of Miejinling orally, 3 times a day, for 7-10 days, or apply it externally to kill Trichomonas. During the period of vaginal medication, you should refrain from sexual intercourse. If you have sexual intercourse before Trichomonas is cured, you should use condoms to isolate to avoid mutual transmission.

This article mainly provides a detailed answer to whether bacterial vaginosis is contagious and how it is transmitted. I hope it can be helpful to you. In addition, we also need to emphasize that we must do a good job of prevention in our daily life to avoid being invaded by these diseases.
