Is pelvic inflammatory disease contagious?

Diseases like liver disease are contagious and can cause physical and mental damage to patients. Being ill is already a painful thing for everyone, so why bring this pain to others? Similarly, many patients with pelvic inflammatory disease are also worried about whether it will be contagious. Let's ask an expert to introduce this issue.

There are two main ways of transmission of gynecological inflammation that is generally contagious: direct transmission and indirect transmission. However, if you are infected with pelvic inflammatory disease, these two methods will not transmit pelvic inflammatory disease.

Pelvic inflammatory disease will not be transmitted indirectly. It will not be transmitted to people around through clothing. However, women should still be careful not to go to places like public bathrooms and swimming pools to avoid infection with other bacteria and other inflammations. Pay attention to your own hygiene.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is not directly transmitted through sexual intercourse, which is different from vaginitis or sexually transmitted diseases. Except during the acute attack period, patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can have appropriate sexual intercourse, with the exception of patients who use vaginal medications during treatment, who can resume after stopping the medication. If you feel obvious discomfort during sexual intercourse, you should go to a professional and regular hospital to consult a professional physician in time. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is caused by the failure to completely treat the former or the poor physical condition of the patient, and the prolonged course of the disease. It is not a sexually transmitted disease, so there is no need to completely prohibit sexual intercourse during treatment, and it will not be transmitted to men through sexual intercourse, but sexual intercourse should be prohibited during the treatment of acute pelvic inflammatory disease.

Although the disease is usually not transmitted through the vagina, it may cause other diseases. Some women also call it transmission, but in fact it can be said to be a spreading infection. Most of these spreading infections spread through the lymphatic system, blood circulation, upward spread along the genital mucosa, and infection of adjacent organs.

The above is the introduction to whether pelvic inflammatory disease is contagious. The answer is no, but patients should also pay more attention to it in their daily life to prevent the disease from getting worse step by step and causing inconvenience to the treatment. In addition, if you do not pay attention to personal hygiene, it will aggravate the disease and even lead to infertility.
