What causes trichomoniasis in women

Most women suffer from trichomoniasis because they do not pay attention to cleaning their private parts. Many women do not take care of themselves and have many sexual partners, which can also cause trichomoniasis. Women suffering from trichomoniasis often feel pain and itching at the vaginal opening, increased yellow and turbid leucorrhea, and lower abdominal pain during menstruation. Trichomoniasis is contagious, so women must pay attention. Here we will introduce to you the causes of trichomoniasis in women.

In women, Trichomonas vaginalis mostly parasitizes in the vagina, urethra, Bartholin's glands and bladder. Involvement of the Bartholin's glands is rare. Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellate that is much larger than polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It is pear-shaped, has four flagella on the top, and a protruding axial column at the tail. It can parasitize in the human body without causing clinical symptoms. Certain bacteria can induce Trichomonas to become active and produce symptoms, but antibodies in the body can spread the disease directly or indirectly, mainly through baths, bathing utensils, swimming pools, or medical equipment that is not thoroughly disinfected. Direct transmission can be through sexual intercourse, from the male urinary system, and the patient's urine and feces may also be the source.

Trichomonas vaginitis is caused by external infection. For an infectious disease to spread, three conditions must be met: a source of infection, a transmission route, and a susceptible person.

Anyone can be infected with Trichomonas, but those with altered vaginal pH or weakened immune systems are more susceptible. Very few patients can recover on their own after being infected with Trichomonas, and even if they are cured, they may be infected again. The sources of infection of trichomoniasis are carriers and contaminated objects.

As for the transmission routes, there are two types: direct transmission, namely sexual transmission, and indirect transmission. In foreign countries, vaginal trichomoniasis is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, so it is classified as a sexually transmitted disease. In China, the way of communication is different. Due to China's large population and relatively backward public health facilities compared with developed countries, transmission in public places has also become an important route of transmission. For example, if the seats in a public bath or the toilets in a public restroom are contaminated with the secretions of an infected person, then later visitors may be infected if they sit directly on the seats or toilets. The basins of public baths, swimming pools with high density and poor disinfection in summer, wearing other people's underwear, renting swimsuits, etc. may all cause the spread of Trichomonas.

Causes of Trichomonas vaginitis in women:

1. Nutritional imbalance: Trauma, hormone or nutritional imbalance, immune deficiency, antibiotics and cytotoxic drugs leading to dysbacteriosis or changes in the skin and mucosal barrier function are also causes of Trichomonas vaginitis.

2. Bad living habits: The causes of Trichomonas vaginitis also include women who are used to sitting for long periods of time, which have poor ventilation in the perineum and obstructed blood circulation, making them more susceptible to infection. Some women are used to using sanitary pads for a long time, which can also easily cause poor ventilation in the perineum and lead to infection.

3. Bad dressing habits: If women like to wear non-breathable jeans and tight underwear, and sweat a lot in the summer, it will cause the local temperature of the vulva and vagina to increase and become damp. A slight friction will easily cause maceration of the vulva and vaginal mucosa or vaginal damage, thereby causing Trichomonas vaginitis.

The above points are an analysis of the causes of Trichomonas vaginitis in women. I hope they can give everyone some attention. At the same time, we also want to remind everyone that if you want to avoid the harm of the disease, in addition to understanding the causes of Trichomonas vaginitis in women, you must also pay attention to the treatment methods of the disease. Only correct treatment can reduce the risk of the disease.
