Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you! Bacterial vaginosis has many names, such as non-specific vaginitis, Haemophilus vaginitis, or Corynebacterium vaginitis, among others. It is now uniformly referred to as bacterial vaginosis. In addition to sexual transmission, bacterial vaginosis can also be widely spread through vaginal douching, gynecological examinations, toilet seat contamination, public bathrooms, towels, underwear, and other public items, as well as hospital cross-infection. Therefore, cultivating good personal hygiene habits and strengthening public health awareness are very important. Wishing you good health, and if you have any other questions, you can also communicate with us directly online.
