In people's body, if the occurrence of many diseases is located in the reproductive system, it is mostly related to bacterial or fungal infection. Trichomoniasis mentioned in this paper is a common infectious disease. This paper introduces the common knowledge of trichomoniasis.

What is trichomoniasis

First of all: trichomoniasis is a parasitic disease caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, trichomonas hominis and Trichomonas buccalis parasitizing in human genitourinary tract, intestinal tract and oral cavity respectively. It is a parasitic disease, which can be transmitted through sexual intercourse in life and has certain infectivity. Among all types, trichomonal vaginitis caused by Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common.

Secondly, Trichomonas vaginalis is suitable to grow in humid environment with temperature of 25-40 ℃ and pH of 5.2-6.6, but does not grow in environment with pH below 5 or above 7.5. Trichomonas vaginalis is facultative anaerobic parasitism. It is suitable to parasitize in relatively anoxic vagina and can reproduce rapidly. It mainly parasitizes in vagina, and often invades urethra or paraurethral gland, even bladder and renal pelvis. In the male genitourinary system, the prostate is the most common, can also be parasitic in the urethra or prepuce folds.

Finally: Trichomonas vaginalis is caused by the invasion of Trichomonas vaginalis with flagella. Trichomonas vaginalis was first found in women's vaginal secretions by Donne (1836). Like Trichomonas hominis and Trichomonas buccalis, Trichomonas vaginalis has only trophozoites but no cysts. The typical cases are pear shaped or oval, with the size of 9.7 (4.5-19) μ m × 7 (2.5-12.5) μ M. The four flagella at the front end of the flagellum swing forward and move in a spiral way with the action of fluctuating membrane wave.

matters needing attention

After understanding the problem of trichomoniasis, we should pay attention to health protection, eliminate the source of infection in time, and try not to go to swimming pools and other public places.
