Is female urethritis contagious?

More and more people are beginning to pay attention to the problem of urethritis, because urethritis is too common nowadays, and there is nothing worth talking about in the future, because everyone can naturally say that they have urethritis. In terms of hygiene, I would like to remind all friends around you to pay attention as much as possible. Whether urethritis is contagious depends on each person's hygiene and whether the patient's condition is contagious.

Is non-gonococcal urethritis contagious?

Non-gonococcal urethritis is a sexually transmitted disease. If you have sexual contact or other close contact with a person with non-gonococcal urethritis without any safety protection measures, you will be infected with non-gonococcal urethritis. Experts say the main ways are as follows:

1. Sexual contact transmission: Transmission through sexual contact with patients with non-gonococcal urethritis accounts for more than 90%. This includes sexual intercourse, passionate kissing, and hugging with skin-to-skin contact. The skin and mucous membranes in the genital area are thin and rich in blood vessels. They are in a state of extreme congestion during sexual intercourse. Friction during sexual intercourse can cause minor injuries, creating conditions for the invasion of non-gonococcal urethritis virus.

2. Indirect contact transmission: Clothes, bedding, articles, supplies, utensils, toilets, toilets and bath towels used by patients with non-gonococcal urethritis may be contaminated by the patients' secretions and carry the non-gonococcal urethritis virus. Healthy people who live closely with patients with non-gonococcal urethritis are easily infected when minor wounds come into contact with these virus-contaminated items.

3. Blood-borne transmission: Some patients with non-gonococcal urethritis in the incubation period are infected with non-gonococcal urethritis virus but may have no clinical symptoms. Healthy people or patients with various other diseases who receive blood or blood products provided by them may be infected with non-gonococcal urethritis.

4. Transmission through the placenta: Pregnant women with non-gonococcal urethritis can transmit non-gonococcal urethritis to the fetus through the placenta. If a pregnant woman suffers from non-gonococcal urethritis and it is not discovered and treated in time, or the treatment is incomplete, the non-gonococcal urethritis virus can be transmitted to the fetus through the blood circulation of the placenta, causing the fetus to be infected with non-gonococcal urethritis.

5. Transmission through the birth canal: When the fetus passes through the birth canal infected with non-gonococcal urethritis, the non-gonococcal urethritis virus in the birth canal can be transmitted to the fetus through the birth canal, causing the newborn to be infected with non-gonococcal urethritis and become ill.
