Signs of the presence of trichomonads in women
First, you need to understand what it isintroduces this disease, and only then talk about its main symptoms. As has already been said, it is transmitted sexually. The causative agent is Trichomonas vaginalis. In women, as is clear from the name, it negatively affects the vagina. In men, the prostate gland and urinary system suffer. You can become infected with trichomoniasis during unprotected sexual intercourse with a carrier of the disease. At the same time, not only those who neglect contraception are at special risk, but also those who often change sexual partners. Infection usually occurs during vaginal sex. But in rare cases, it can also occur during anal and oral sex. In extremely rare cases, you can become infected through personal hygiene items: towels, sponges for washing the body, etc. But such cases are very few. What are the symptoms and signs of trichomoniasis in women? It's time to consider the first of the obvious symptoms. So, Trichomonas and its symptoms. First of all, specific vaginal discharge is observed. It is foamy or watery discharge that has a yellowish or whitish tint. As for the smell, there is often a sharp and very unpleasant "aroma", which is simply impossible not to pay attention to. Some women may confuse it with thrush. Such cases are quite common. The symptoms in women do not end there. The picture is complemented by itching and burning in the vagina. When urinating, there will definitely be quite painful sensations, and the urge to relieve oneself will become unreasonably frequent, strong and intense. The appearance of the genitals themselves in women also changes. They become very red, irritation and severe inflammation are observed. There is discomfort during sexual intercourse, as well as in calm states and when moving, for example, when walking. By the way, the symptoms of trichomonas in women are more obvious than in men. It is considered that this is a rather simple venereal disease, but this is not entirely true. The thing is that it manifests itself with very few and subtle symptoms, and therefore many do not attach importance to the first "signals". But the most dangerous thing is that it is not so much the disease itself that is scary, but the consequences and complications that it can entail. Among the complications are menstrual irregularities, various problems with the "female part" and, the worst of all, infertility. Therefore, it is so important to begin timely treatment. What can it be?
Treating Trichomonas
It is imperative to treat this disease.It will never go away on its own, but will only leave behind irreversible consequences. But first, it is worth talking about how this disease can be detected if you do not touch on the previously listed symptoms. So, a specialist must conduct research, examine the skin and mucous membranes. This is compared with the data obtained from the patient's survey. But the most effective diagnostic method is analysis. This type of research is called a polymerase chain reaction. The accuracy of the analysis is 95%, and the production time is about two days. Now it's time to talk about the treatment of trichomonas. It will be prescribed by a specialist based on the overall picture of the disease. Depending on a particular case, individual adjustments can be made to the treatment of trichomonas. Often, drugs are prescribed that have a specific antibacterial effect. They are the ones that are prescribed most often. Both local and general therapy are used. In general, the treatment can be called complex. But local treatment is useless unless general treatment for trichomonas is carried out at the same time. By the way, both partners need to be treated for trichomoniasis. This is necessary to prevent re-infection. In addition, one of them may have the disease in the incubation period. As a rule, trichomonas treatment is quite successful, only if the case is not completely neglected. With fruitful, competent treatment, recovery occurs in about two or three months. Everyone knows that prevention is the best method of treatment, because it is always better to prevent something than to fight it later. The same applies to the treatment of trichomonas. Abstinence is always the best advice in cases of sexually transmitted diseases. If this option is not suitable, then you need to carefully follow the rules of contraception, and if it is not used, then you need to know your sexual partner and his health very well. Numerous sexual contacts increase the risk of not only the above-mentioned disease, but also sexually transmitted diseases in general. In addition, you need to take good care of your personal hygiene and not allow others to use things. At the slightest deviations and changes in the reproductive system, you need to immediately contact a doctor. You should be especially wary if at least one of the symptoms voiced today is present. Even in the absence of problems, it is worth visiting the appropriate specialist once every six months.
