Patient's question:
Can various inflammations in women be transmitted to men?Does my girlfriend's vaginal discharge with an odor transmit to me?
Doctor's answer:
Most women have a vaginal odor, which is generally not contagious. However, it is important to determine the cause. If Treponema pallidum (syphilis), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea), Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma, fungi, Trichomonas vaginalis, herpes virus, or other microbial infections are detected in the female's discharge, it is advisable to temporarily abstain from sexual activity. The best course of action is for both partners to sleep separately for a period of time until the patient has fully recovered.During the examination, it is recommended that both partners undergo a comprehensive check-up.
