The emergence of vulvitis has caused great distress to many women. After getting sick, we should also recognize its severity and provide reasonable treatment based on our own condition. In addition, patients should pay attention to regulating their lives.
Is vulvitis severe
1. Vulvitis can be contagious: According to experts, fungal vulvitis and trichomoniasis vulvitis are highly contagious. When women have sexual contact with men with positive Candida culture, their infection rate is 80%; About half of men who have sexual contact with women with fungal and trichomonal vulvitis will be infected. That is to say, fungal vulvitis and trichomonal vulvitis can be transmitted through sexual behavior. Therefore, if a woman suffers from fungal vulvitis and trichomonal vulvitis, her spouse should also receive treatment at the same time. Experts have noticed that female friends who suffer from vulvitis must receive immediate treatment, and the likelihood of couples receiving treatment at the same time is high.
2. Vulvitis can affect pregnancy: Vulvitis can affect sexual intercourse and create an environment in the vagina that is not conducive to sperm survival. In patients with severe vulvitis, a large number of white blood cells in sexual secretions can engulf sperm, consume energy substances present in semen, reduce sperm vitality, shorten sperm survival time, and reduce pregnancy rate.
3. Vulvitis has the possibility of canceration: According to experts, stubborn vulvar inflammation that persists for a long time should be highly vigilant against the presence of vulvar cancer. When suffering from acute vulvitis, sexual intercourse not only exacerbates the patient's pain, but also promotes the spread of inflammation, leading to secondary infections. Through direct or indirect contact between the skin and mucous membranes, it can lead to sexually transmitted diseases such as genital warts, genital herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis, chancre, trichomonas, and fungal infections. Experts remind that if it cannot be cured for a long time, one should be highly vigilant about the possibility of vulvar cancer. According to statistics, vulvar cancer accounts for 40% of the development of vulvitis, mostly occurring in middle-aged and elderly women, with unimaginable consequences.
4. Impact on the quality of sexual life: After female friends suffer from vulvitis, they may experience symptoms of itching and increased vaginal discharge. If female friends do not receive timely treatment after falling ill, it can affect the quality of sexual life, exacerbate patient pain, and promote the spread of inflammation and secondary infections.
5. Causing other tissue lesions: Direct or indirect contact between the skin and mucous membranes can lead to sexually transmitted diseases such as genital warts, genital herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis, chancre, trichomonas, and fungal infections.
