Can there be gynecological inflammation without sexual activity?

Patient's question:

I am 33 years old this year, and I am still a spinster. Recently, I feel uncomfortable downstairs. I think I haven't had any sexual activity, so there should be no problems, right? Will there be gynecological inflammation without sexual life?

Doctor's answer:

Without sexual activity, the risk of transmitting gynecological and obstetric inflammation is significantly reduced, but there is still a possibility of transmission. This situation is often related to poor hygiene during menstruation or catching a cold from soaking in a bath. It is recommended to pay attention to menstrual hygiene and avoid catching a cold. It is necessary to use warm water to rinse the external genitalia, wash underwear with boiling water, change them frequently, and expose them to sunlight to achieve a disinfecting effect. Daily hygiene should also be paid attention to.
