What is genital tract infection in women?
Genital tract infections in women (also known as gynecological infections) are conditions in which the organs of the female reproductive system become infected. This is a common disease, especially in women of reproductive age and particularly those who are sexually active. The disease is usually divided into two main groups based on the location of the inflammation: lower genital tract infections ( vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis) and upper genital tract infections ( uterine infections, fallopian tube infections, ovarian infections, and pelvic inflammatory disease).
Causes of genital tract inflammation in women
According to statistics, the incidence of gynecological infections in Vietnamese women of reproductive age reaches 90% (those who have been examined and diagnosed), with over 70% of these cases occurring in educated, high-income women. Genital tract infections in women are not only common, but these infections can lead to more serious gynecological diseases, affecting not only reproductive health and even infertility, but also the overall health of women.
There are many causes of gynecological diseases:
- This can be due to poor hygiene habits or unsafe sexual practices.
- Wearing tight underwear prevents breathability.
- Due to unsafe abortion procedures.
- This is due to an unhealthy lifestyle and work schedule, hormonal imbalance, and weakened immune system.
- Due to Vietnam's hot and humid climate, it easily creates a favorable environment for disease-causing bacteria to thrive.

Is it safe to have sex while suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease?
When suffering from a genital infection, sexual intercourse should be absolutely avoided as it will worsen the infection, causing pain and discomfort, potentially damaging the mucous membrane, and significantly increasing the risk of transmitting the infection to your partner, leading to further infections in both individuals, or a recurrence of the infection, making it more complicated. Intercourse at this time increases the risk of complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical erosion, and even infertility.
You should abstain completely until the disease is fully treated and your doctor confirms that you are completely cured. Follow the prescribed course of medication (insert/take oral medication) and do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor.
