Does vaginitis spread?

Patient's question:

I am gay and now have a stable girlfriend. I am worried that during intimacy, I might transmit vaginitis to her. Does vaginitis spread?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis can sometimes be infectious, such as candidal vaginitis and trichomoniasis, which are both contagious. External suppositories can be used. It is important to maintain good hygiene of the vaginal area and change underwear frequently. Drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, ensure deep sleep, avoid staying up late, and prevent excessive fatigue. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Maintain regular exercise, quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, and keep a positive mood.
