What gynecological diseases are contagious?

Patient's question:

I know that as a woman, there can be many troubles. I've heard that women basically all have gynecological diseases. But I feel that there should be some gynecological diseases that are infectious. I'm a bit curious, what are the infectious gynecological diseases?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, general contagious gynecological infections, such as candidiasis and trichomoniasis, are usually spread through sexual intercourse. Public baths, bathtubs, and swimming pools can also lead to infections. The general symptoms include itching and a burning sensation in the external genitalia and vagina, along with an increase in leukorrhea. Severe cases may result in female infertility. Mainly, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially cleaning the lower body before and after sexual activity.
