Explanation of candidal vaginitis and trichomonas vaginitis

Candidiasis and Trichomonas vaginitis are two different conditions, but many people always confuse them inadvertently. In fact, they are very different and their natures are also different. It’s just that the names look very similar. Since so many people always can’t distinguish between these two diseases, it is necessary for the editor to give you a detailed explanation today. I hope that after reading it, you can gain some useful knowledge.

Vaginitis is caused by a fungus, usually Candida albicans. Vaginal candidiasis is not resistant to heat and can die after being heated to 60℃ for 1 hour. However, it is more resistant to dryness, sunlight, ultraviolet rays and chemicals. Topical medication is the main treatment for simple vulvovaginal candidiasis. Symptoms usually improve or disappear within 2-3 days after medication. Clotrimazole vaginal suppository, use every 3 days, 2 times in total. Regarding the treatment of complicated vulvovaginal candidiasis, the drugs selected are basically the same as those for simple vulvovaginal candidiasis. Whether it is local or systemic medication, the treatment time should be appropriately extended.

Trichomonas vaginitis is caused by Trichomonas. The Trichomonas that parasitize the human body include Trichomonas vaginalis, Trichomonas humanis and Trichomonas oralis, which parasitize the urogenital system, intestines and oral cavity respectively. The one related to skin disease is Trichomonas vaginalis, which causes Trichomonas vaginitis. It is a parasitic disease that is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse and is contagious. To make the diagnosis, the vaginal secretions taken from the posterior fornix need only be suspended in saline, without staining, and examined under an ordinary microscope, and the diagnosis can be made immediately. The rapid extension movement of the flagella and the sprinting activity of the ovoid protozoa were easily observed. Culture is more sensitive than direct microscopy. Trichomonas vaginitis is also often diagnosed using a Papanicolaou-stained smear. Tests should be done to rule out gonorrhea, chlamydia, and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Trichomonas vaginitis and candidal vaginitis are not easy to cure completely, and the statement that "the cure rate is 100%" is obviously unscientific. The main difference between these two diseases lies in the cause. Trichomonas vaginitis is a common inflammation of the vagina in women caused by the massive reproduction of Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasite, not a bacterium. The cause of trichomoniasis vaginitis is that the pH value in the vagina of women increases due to various reasons, which increases the alkalinity and causes the massive reproduction of Trichomonas. Candidal vaginitis is a gynecological vaginal inflammation caused by fungal infection (Candida albicans)

This is the introduction to candidal vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis. If you really encounter such diseases, you should not panic first, but go to the hospital for diagnosis in time. Don't avoid telling your doctor the details just because you feel embarrassed or you are having a dry run. Finally, I would like to warn everyone that if you have this disease, do not have sex.
