What are the symptoms of vulvar itching caused by Trichomonas vaginitis?

Trichomonas vaginitis is a common gynecological disease, which brings great distress to women. It can cause abnormal leucorrhea and extreme itching in the vagina, making women miserable. This disease can also cause frequent urination, especially at night, affecting sleep and making it impossible to work normally the next day. Such situations require timely treatment. Let us understand what else Trichomonas vaginitis causes besides vulvar itching.

1. Increased leucorrhea, which may be a thin serous liquid, gray-yellow or yellow-green, sometimes mixed with blood. 20% of leucorrhea contains foam, which is also a symptom of Trichomonas vaginitis. Itching and burning of the vulva, and pain during sexual intercourse are also common. When the infection involves the urethra, there may be urinary pain, urgency, and even hematuria, which are all symptoms of Trichomonas vaginitis.

2. Common complications: Trichomonas can consume glycogen in the epithelium, change the pH value in the vagina, and hinder the growth of lactobacilli, so it is easy to cause secondary bacterial infection. At this time, the leucorrhea is grass green and has a foul odor.

3. Genital symptoms: Trichomonas vaginitis is a disease that attacks the female genitals. The main genital symptoms are vulvar itching that is worse at night, excessive vaginal discharge, yellowish color and foul odor. Examination revealed scratches and reddened skin lesions on the vulva, and vaginal discharge that was grayish yellow-green, thin, and foamy, caused by the breakdown of glycogen and the production of gas. The vaginal mucosa is congested, and small bleeding spots can be seen deep inside. It is often infected with fungi, etc. If the urinary tract is infected at the same time, urinary pain, frequent urination, and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen may occur.

4. The vaginal and cervical mucosa are congested and edematous, often with scattered red spots or strawberry-shaped protrusions, and the posterior fornix has a large amount of leucorrhea.

5. Gynecological examination is the most important guarantee for timely detection of gynecological diseases in daily life. During gynecological examination, there are small red particles or petechiae on the vaginal mucosa. The pH is higher than normal. A large amount of yellow-green or gray foamy secretions flow out of the vagina, which have a fishy smell and are sometimes mixed with a small amount of blood or pus. The secretions irritate the vulva and cause itching. The vulva may become red or even develop inflammatory ulcers, some of which are caused by moisture and abrasions and may spread to the genital-femoral folds. Pain during sexual intercourse, and symptoms such as urinary pain and frequent urination may also occur.

In addition, vulvar itching is a manifestation of Trichomonas vaginitis. Some patients experience a burning sensation, and sometimes feel vaginal pain during sexual intercourse. They need to go to the gynecology department for examination, take timely medication, pay attention to the hygiene of the vagina, wear pure cotton underwear, drink plenty of warm water, do not stay up late often, as staying up late will reduce immunity and affect health, and do not eat spicy or greasy food.
