Gynecological diseases occur in the female reproductive system, but many people now mistakenly believe that gynecological diseases only need to be treated by women and are unrelated to men, but this is actually incorrect. Because the sexual activities of both males and females lead to many recurring cases of gynecological diseases. Therefore, “couple’s treatment” is the key to curing these diseases. Which gynecological diseases require “couple’s treatment”? Generally, there are several.
Trichomonas vaginalis infection can lead to trichomonal vaginitis. Patients with trichomonal vaginitis and asymptomatic carriers are the sources of infection for this disease. Trichomonal vaginitis can be transmitted through sexual contact and also through sitting toilet seats, underwear, and various hygiene items, which explains why trichomonal vaginitis requires “couple’s treatment.”
After women are infected with trichomonal vaginitis, they may experience discomfort, vaginal mucosal inflammation, frothy discharge, and some patients may experience varying degrees of itching. Men do not suffer from trichomonal vaginitis or exhibit these symptoms, but they may be infected with trichomonas, triggering reproductive system inflammation. Also, if men are infected with trichomonas, the likelihood of their spouses developing trichomonal vaginitis significantly increases. Therefore, for this disease, “couple’s treatment” is necessary to protect women’s health.
If cervicitis is not treated in time or recurs, it may transform into cervical cancer, seriously endangering women’s fertility and life safety. Therefore, timely treatment of cervicitis is essential, and cervicitis is mainly transmitted by women. Male genital organs are prone to accumulate bacteria, fungi, and secretions. During sexual activity, these pathogens and secretions enter the female cervix, leading to inflammatory lesions. Therefore, if a woman’s cervicitis recurs, attention must be paid to checking her husband’s reproductive system, undergoing couple’s treatment to safeguard women’s health.
The gynecological diseases mentioned above are the ones that require “couple’s treatment” and should not be underestimated. If a woman finds that her gynecological diseases still occur frequently after treatment, she must persuade her husband to go for a medical examination. Only through couple’s treatment can the occurrence rate of these gynecological diseases be reduced, or even eliminated.
