Vaginitis, post-coital redness and itching of the male glans, is it contagious?

Patient's question:

I've been experiencing some itching and irritation in my vagina recently. After having sex with my boyfriend, about ten minutes later he said he felt a bit itchy and had some redness down there. Is it possible that I transmitted it to him?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is preliminarily considered that there may be mutual transmission. Vaginitis should avoid sexual intercourse, and it is best to have a vaginal discharge smear test for a thorough examination to confirm the pathogen. Then, both you and your boyfriend should be treated simultaneously to prevent further transmission. Patients with vaginitis can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily dietary habits, it is crucial to avoid being overly hungry or overly full, and absolutely no overeating or binge drinking.
