Vaginal bacterial infection is a common gynecological disease. Some people think that this is a difficult disease to talk about. They don’t seek treatment when they are sick, and the disease becomes more and more serious as time goes by. In fact, as long as you face the reality of the disease correctly and actively treat it, it can be cured. Below we will introduce the causes and treatments of vaginal bacterial infections in detail.

Contact with toilets, bathtubs, bath seats, towels in public toilets that are contaminated with bacteria, and using unclean toilet paper can cause infection.

2. Sexual transmission

It is one of the causes of the disease. At least 10% of men with symptoms on the female side have bacterial urethritis.
