Do you know about the related issues of vaginitis infection?

Vaginitis is one of the common gynecological diseases, which seriously endangers women's health. It is mainly due to inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue. Many patients with vaginitis often ask, is vaginitis contagious? In order to help everyone better understand vaginitis, we will introduce to you the question of whether vaginitis is contagious.

Vaginitis is generally not contagious, but non-gonococcal urethritis and trichomonas urethritis are contagious. Non-gonococcal urethritis is a type of urethritis transmitted by sexual contact, but gonococci cannot be found in urethral secretions. Trichomonas urethritis is highly contagious because trichomonas has a strong ability to survive in vitro. Women with urethritis have symptoms such as pain after urination, frequent urination, urgency, and turbid urine.
Infectious vaginitis is transmitted through:
1. Mother-to-child transmission: If the mother is infected with pathogens, the newborn may develop throat, eye, and other infections when passing through the birth canal, and may even develop pneumonia.
2. Self-infection: Pathogens can be inoculated from the reproductive tract to the eyes or throat through hands or contaminants.
3. Sexual contact: Sexual contact with patients with non-gonococcal urethritis or carriers of pathogens can lead to infection. Disordered sexual relations, early sexual intercourse, and the use of condoms can all increase the incidence of non-gonococcal urethritis.
4. Indirect transmission: Gynecological examination instruments that have not been strictly sterilized may also become a medium of transmission. Infection can occur through clothing, utensils, etc., which is common in children.
From the above, we can see that once vaginitis occurs, it must be treated promptly and persisted in to avoid infecting family members.
