Is bacterial vaginosis contagious?

Bacterial vaginosis in women causes congestion and swelling of the vaginal mucosa, dryness and inability to lubricate, and pain during intercourse, which leads to a decline in the quality of sexual life and thus to discord between couples. Bacterial vaginosis in women is very harmful to women's health. Do you know that bacterial vaginosis can be transmitted to sexual partners?

Bacterial vaginosis is a sexually transmitted disease that can be transmitted between sexual partners. If you accidentally contract bacterial vaginosis, do not delay and seek treatment as soon as possible and thoroughly. Your partner must also receive treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is transmitted through sexual intercourse: the first is direct genital contact; the second is oral sex, because Trichomonas not only parasitizes in the vagina, but also often invades the urethra or paraurethral glands and the male foreskin folds, urethra or prostate, so bacterial vaginosis can be transmitted through oral sex; the third is promiscuous sex.

When women have sexual contact with men who have a positive Candida culture, the infection rate is 80%; about 1/2 of men who have sexual contact with women with candidal bacterial vaginosis will be infected. In other words, candidal bacterial vaginosis can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, which is why when a woman has candidal bacterial vaginosis, her spouse must also receive treatment at the same time.

Bacterial vaginosis should be treated actively according to the cause. Generally, cross-infection can occur through sexual intercourse, so both husband and wife should actively treat it at the same time and prepare for sexual intercourse after the treatment is completed.
