Can vulvitis be transmitted to others? What is the method of transmission for vulvitis
The occurrence of vulvitis is a particularly troublesome disease for many patients, which not only affects their own health but also spreads. After falling ill, it is necessary to pay attention to reasonable treatment to prevent transmission.
Is vulvitis contagious
Vulvitis is contagious, with a transmission rate of up to 80%. Female friends must be treated immediately after falling ill, and couples should be treated simultaneously, otherwise it is likely to be transmitted to their partners.
Generally speaking, fungal vulvitis and trichomoniasis vulvitis are highly contagious. When women have sexual contact with men with positive Candida culture, their infection rate is 80%; About half of men who have sexual contact with women with fungal and trichomonal vulvitis will be infected; Moreover, when suffering from acute vulvitis, sexual intercourse not only exacerbates the patient's pain, but also promotes the spread of inflammation and causes secondary infections.
Methods of transmission of vulvitis
Direct or indirect contact between the skin and mucous membranes can lead to sexually transmitted diseases such as genital warts, genital herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis, chancre, trichomonas, and fungal infections. That is to say, fungal vulvitis and trichomonal vulvitis can be transmitted through sexual behavior, which is why when a woman suffers from fungal vulvitis and trichomonal vulvitis, her spouse also needs to receive treatment at the same time. In addition, indirect contact transmission is also a route of transmission for fungal and trichomonal vulvitis.
When using public restrooms, bathrooms, chairs, towels in bathrooms, and using unclean toilet paper, fungal vaginitis can occur when a certain amount of vulvovaginal candidiasis is present in infected individuals
Etiology of vulvitis
1. Poor personal hygiene: In daily life, female friends should pay special attention to their personal hygiene, especially during menstruation or postpartum period. They should pay attention to using qualified hygiene products and try to avoid swimming and soaking in hot springs in public places, which can lead to female genital infections.
2. Antibiotic reasons: If women frequently take drugs containing antibiotics, their condition can generally be alleviated, but they can kill harmful bacteria while killing them. The imbalance of the bacterial community in the female genital area can cause vulvitis.
3. Improper clothing: Women's choice of clothing is also important, always wearing chemical fiber underwear, using hygiene products without strict disinfection standards, etc. Women's external genitalia skin has poor ventilation, is prone to itching, and ultimately develops external genitalitis.
