Gynecological infections can be transmitted in various ways. STIs are typically spread through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Non-sexually transmitted infections like bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections can be influenced by factors such as hormonal changes, antibiotic use, and changes in the vaginal flora. Some infections, like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), often result from the spread of bacteria from the vagina to the reproductive organs.
