Vaginitis is a common disease, and Trichomoniasis usually has a high incidence rate. We must pay great attention to it, especially the harm to female patients. We should also make sure that it is timely treated in many ways. What is Trichomoniasis? What is Trichomoniasis? Trichomoniasis is a common Vaginitis, which is caused by trichomonas. Trichomonas vaginalis, human trichomonas and oral trichomonas parasitize the human body, which are parasitized in the Genitourinary system, intestinal tract and oral cavity respectively. Trichomonas vaginalis is related to skin diseases, which is easy to cause Trichomoniasis. Trichomoniasis is a Parasitic disease mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, which is infectious.
Trichomonas are pear shaped, with a pointed posterior end, approximately 2-3 times the size of multinucleated white blood cells. There are 4 flagella at the top of the insect body, a fluctuating membrane at the body, and a protruding axon at the back. Live trichomonas are transparent and colorless, in the form of water droplets, with flagella swaying with the fluctuation of the membrane. The life history of trichomonas is simple, with only the trophozoite having no capsule period. The trophozoite has strong vitality and can survive for 2 days at 3-5 ℃, and for 20-60 minutes at 46 ℃. They can survive for about 10 hours in a semi dry environment and grow in an environment below Ph5 or above 7.5. Patients with trichomonas vaginitis generally have a vaginal pH value of 5.1-5.4.
Trichomonas hidden in glands and vaginal wrinkles often reproduce before and after menstruation, causing inflammation to occur. Consume or engulf glycogen in Vaginal epithelium cells, and hinder the production of lactic acid. Trichomonas not only parasitize the vagina. The urethra and paraurethral glands also frequently invade, including the bladder, renal pelvis, male foreskin folds, urethra, and prostate. Trichomoniasis is Vaginitis caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, which is one of the most common Vaginitis. The main clinical manifestations are leukorrhea, thin foam, foul smell and vaginal itching. The onset of the disease is due to the consumption of glycogen in the vagina by infected Trichomonas vaginalis, which disrupts the self purification defense function of the vagina and leads to secondary bacterial infections.
Symptoms of Trichomoniasis
1. The leucorrhea suddenly becomes more and more. The texture may become thin or thick, and sometimes there will be foam. The color is light green, with a foul smell.
2. Due to inflammation, the vulva becomes very fragile and prone to frictional damage, leading to itching, burning, or the feeling of ants crawling over it.
