Vulvitis is a common gynecological inflammation that must be treated immediately after illness, especially by identifying the underlying factors. Reasonable prevention is essential in daily life.
Can vulvitis be contagious?
Gynecological experts say that vulvitis has a certain degree of infectivity, especially fungal vulvitis and trichomoniasis vulvitis, which are more infectious. When women have sexual contact with men with positive Candida culture, the infection rate is 80%. Therefore, women with vulvitis should pay attention to preventing transmission to their families.
Vulvitis is a common gynecological inflammation in women. Pregnancy, excessive use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, overwork, tension, and other factors can cause vulvitis. Gynecologists say that vulvitis is highly infectious, and about half of men who have sexual contact with women with fungal and trichomonal vulvitis are infected. 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. In other words, fungal vulvitis and trichomonal vulvitis can be transmitted through sexual behavior, so after a woman suffers from fungal vulvitis and trichomonal vulvitis, her spouse must also receive treatment at the same time.
Causes of vulvitis
1. Local skin uncleanness: The external genitalia skin is soaked in menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, urine, feces, and sweat, causing chronic inflammation of the local skin and causing external genitalitis.
2. Fungal vaginitis: itching of the external genitalia and vagina, redness of the external genitalia, bean residue like leukorrhea, unpleasant odor, and eczematous changes after scraping of the external genitalia. Therefore, it is important for women to seek medical attention promptly if they experience symptoms such as itching.
3. Sexual allergies: The main causes are semen allergies, condom allergies, and friction allergies.
4. Trichomoniasis vaginalis: pruritus of vulva and vagina, with foam like leucorrhea, often accompanied by special odor, and the same eczematic changes of vulva dermatitis after scratching.
5. Sexually transmitted diseases: Genital warts mostly occur in the vaginal wall, cervical opening, and vulva of women, and there may also be foul smelling vaginal discharge. Infectious soft warts that occur in the vulva are often manifested as circular papules with a central umbilical fossa like depression, which can also cause vulvar inflammation.
6. Drug allergy: Fixed type drug rash caused by the use of sulfonamides or other drugs in women with allergic constitution, often occurring at the boundary of the skin and mucosa of the external genitalia. In addition to local itching, it can also be accompanied by erosion and exudation.
