Trichomoniasis

This is the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
The causative organism is its vaginal trichomonads - parasitic protozoa that lives in the vagina, urethra, rarely in the cervical canal, the uterus and its appendages. The incubation period of trichomoniasis is from 5 to 15 days, immunity against the disease does not exist.
Lovely woman! Please note: the main route of transmission of trichomoniasis - sex! Vnepolovoy route of infection is possible in extremely rare cases.
Symptoms of trichomoniasis: trihomonadnyh coleitis characterized by abundant foamy corrosive fluids from the genital tract, accompanied by strong itching. They can also mark a burning sensation and pain during urination and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. In the transition of the acute form of the disease into a chronic amount of bleeding is minor, itching subsides, but the symptoms may worsen before menstruation.
Diagnosis of trichomoniasis based on microscopic detection of vaginal trichomonads in fresh smears or after a special color. Keep in mind that the diagnosis of trichomoniasis is not always easy, even in an acute form. Therefore, chronic disease and its transition into a stage carriage diagnosis put even more difficult.
Treatment of trichomoniasis: the importance of early treatment of trichomoniasis and say modern oncology, this is due to the fact that there is a link between long-term carriage of trichomonads and the development of cervical cancer.
The most important principle of treatment of trichomoniasis is involved in the process of both sexual partners simultaneously. Sex life during treatment is prohibited. When identifying the causative agent in only one partner is another preventive treatment. Prescribers, both general and local action. At the same time assign different candles for vaginal application.
It should once again warn patients of the common mistakes: the patient trichomoniasis can be cured one woman, with no partner. This often leads to the fact that treatment must be repeated several times.
The patient average age at the next medical examination revealed Trichomonas vagina. The patient said irritably: "Well, again! How many times can you treat this stuff! For 10 years I fly and still nothing. And they say that medicine has gotten better, that's nonsense! "I asked the woman whether her husband was treated. She replied that he was treated with nothing, as he had an infection in the survey did not find. I was able to explain to the patient that the absence of parasite in blood smears is not to suggest that her husband is healthy, so he needed treatment for trichomoniasis. Fortunately, the husband turned out to be flexible, meekly complied, designated urologist treatment, and after that the problem of trichomoniasis in my patient was solved.
It is important to add to treat drugs affecting immunity, especially in chronic forms of trichomoniasis and carriage, as well as vitamins and drugs, normalizing intestinal and vaginal flora, ie to respect the principles of treatment of inflammatory diseases, of which we spoke earlier.
Vaccination. Let me remind of such a modern method of treatment of trichomonas infection, as the Salk vaccine-Trihovak, which prevents re-infection with trichomonads.
Speaking of trichomoniasis, it is impossible not to mention the fact that infected by this disease, you may have infected and other diseases transmitted through sexual contact. Why should not voluntarily swallow pills, but better to see a doctor - gynecologist or venerologist to exclude other very dangerous diseases. Should be tested for HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis and gonorrhea. Not to be unfounded, will give an example from practice.
For us in the consultation asked a girl 17 years old, who was on vacation in the summer of casual unprotected sexual intercourse. After 6 days later she began to complain to the frothy whites and itching. A friend advised the girl to take 3 tablets Trykhopol that she did, then symptomatic inflammation subsided. Seek medical help, she was forced deterioration after being brought ARI. On examination the patient was discovered chronic trichomoniasis, mycoplasmosis, but that the worst - a blood test for HIV returned a positive result.
So I will repeat again that the best way to protect yourself from any (!) Infection, sexually transmitted infections - not to have indiscriminate sex. The most handsome, charming and attractive man may unwittingly, be the bearer of the different sexual transmitted diseases (STDs), and as a result of such contacts your love will not so beautiful as you would like.
You may ask: "What now - no personal life? Or help a new friend request? "As for references, before registration of marriage in many countries the bride and groom pass comprehensive medical examination, but we still do to this" immature ". A personal life does not suffer if the first few months of communication with the intimate relationship you use a condom. But if your friend refuses to safe sex, you should think about whether you need a partner and not whether the price of this love is too high.
