Patient's question:
I got a vaginal infection a few days ago and passed it to my husband after we had sex. I want to know if getting a vaginal infection always leads to transmission or if some people transmit it while others don't.Doctor's answer:
After suffering from vaginitis, having sex with a partner can lead to the transmission of the infection to the other person. The majority of the infections are caused by fungi or viruses. Most bacterial infections are not contagious. Based on your situation, it is recommended to maintain good hygiene of the lower body, and to clean the genital area before and after sexual activity. It is important to undergo a routine examination of vaginal discharge to identify the pathogenic bacteria and receive targeted treatment. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during the treatment.
