Symptoms and transmission routes of trichomonal vaginitis

summary

In gynecological diseases, anyone may be infected with trichomonal vaginitis, and those with vaginal pH changes or low immunity are more likely to be infected. Trichomonas patients can self-healing is rare, even if cured, or will be easily infected. Trichomonal vaginitis is the source of infection of those who carry insects and contaminated objects. Let's see how trichomonal vaginitis spreads.

Symptoms and transmission routes of trichomonal vaginitis

Trichomonas vaginalis is the pathogen of trichomonas vaginitis. Trichomonas is a parasite, but not visible to the naked eye. It is pear shaped and grows for 10-30 years μ m. There are four flagella as long as the body on the head, which can be seen clearly under the microscope. Trichomonas has strong adaptability to different environments. It can grow and reproduce at 25 ℃ - 42 ℃. It can survive for 21 days at low temperature of 3 ℃ - 5 ℃. It can still survive for 20-60 minutes at 46 ℃. It can also survive for several hours under semi dry conditions after leaving human body.

As for the transmission of trichomonal vaginitis, there are two kinds of direct transmission, namely, sexual life transmission and indirect transmission. In foreign countries, vaginal trichomoniasis is mainly transmitted through sexual life, so it belongs to sexually transmitted diseases. In China, the mode of communication is different. Due to the large population and the relatively backward public health facilities in China, the transmission in public places has become an important way of transmission. In addition, the mutual use of bathtubs and iatrogenic cross infection among family members also lead to the indirect transmission of trichomonal vaginitis.

Due to the lack of ideal animal models, the pathogenesis of trichomonal vaginitis is poorly understood. Trichomonas vaginalis infects the human body in the form of trophozoites. When it is not active, it is difficult to differentiate from the host cells. It is often mistaken for cysts. However, the undulatory membrane and flagella can be seen under high-power microscope. This should be noted during microscopic examination. Different strains of Trichomonas have different ability to destroy target nuclei in vitro, and different strains have different intrinsic toxicity.

matters needing attention

1. Trichomonal vaginitis patients need to avoid eating seafood, such as shrimp, crab, shellfish and other seafood will aggravate itching. This is in trichomonal vaginitis care should pay attention to. 2. Trichomonal vaginitis care to pay attention not to eat sweet, greasy food: these foods will increase leucorrhea secretion, thus aggravating itching. 3. Do not scratch, when there are symptoms such as vulva pruritus, vaginitis patients can use traditional Chinese medicine vulva lotion sitz bath, do not scratch, in order to avoid vulva skin and mucosa damage, secondary infection. This is also a nursing measure for trichomonal vaginitis. 4. Stop sex, trichomonal vaginitis treatment period should stop sex, and husband should go to andrology examination, such as urine found trichomonal, should be treated at the same time. 5. It is strictly forbidden to take a bath or swim in public places. There may be some unclean bacteria in public places (baths or swimming pools), which will make you infected with vaginitis. Therefore, this is also for trichomonal vaginitis care in more attention.
