How is trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection. The source of infection is a sick person or trihomonadonositel.
Trichomonads found in semen and the vaginal secretions. Accordingly, the main route of transmission of trichomoniasis - sex. Transmission occurs from male to female and from women to men. At the same time women are more susceptible to trichomoniasis. Possible transmission and from woman to woman, for example, through sex toys.
The incubation period of trichomoniasis may vary from 2 days to 2 month, averaging about 10 days.
Patients are often concerned about - perhaps a trichomoniasis infection in the home.
Transmission through household objects (towels, bathing, personal hygiene) is theoretically possible, as trichomonads can survive in a moist environment for several hours. But in reality, this mode of transmission of trichomoniasis implemented rarely. And is only for gross violations of the rules of personal hygiene.
Many people trichomoniasis occurs without symptoms (trihomonadonositelstvo). Apparently healthy person can be the source of infection. This trihomonadonositeli are major contributors to the spread of infection.
Prevention of trichomoniasis - the same as for all STIs.
1. Permanent sexual partner and lack of random connections. Partner must necessarily tested for trichomoniasis. Since the absence of symptoms does not indicate a lack of Trichomonas.
2. The use of condoms. The more that condoms protect and the more dangerous infections than trichomoniasis. Other tools, including vaginal tablets do not protect against trichomoniasis.
3. Immunity is not stable and does not provide protection from reinfection, so ill trichomoniasis can be many times for life. Therefore, precautions must be taken always, especially with casual sexual relations.
4. Compliance with the rules of personal hygiene - do not use other people's bathing suits and towels.
5. Regular check-up (and if necessary treatment) will protect you and your loved ones.
Preventive vaccines against trichomoniasis no. Vaccine SolkoTrihovak used for treatment but not prevention of trichomoniasis. Therefore, the only effective protection against trichomoniasis - a safe behavior.
