The living Trichomonas is transparent and colorless, in the shape of water beads, and the microvilli shake with the vibration of the vibrating membrane. The life cycle of Trichomonas is simple, with only a trophic body but no vesicle stage. The trophic body has strong vitality and can survive for 2 days at 3-5℃; 20-60 minutes at 46℃; about 10 hours in a semi-dry environment; and 45-120 minutes in ordinary soap solution. It will not grow in an environment where the Ph is below 5 or above 7.5. The vaginal Ph value of patients with Trichomonas vaginitis is generally 5.1-5.4.

The vaginal discharge is heavy, yellowish-brown in color, thin, sticky, and has a foul odor. When infected with pyogenic bacteria, it turns light green and pus-like. In severe cases, vaginal mucosal bleeding may occur with bloody leucorrhea.

The private parts may be itchy, burning or have a crawling sensation. Under the irritation of secretions for a long time, vulvar dermatitis may occur.

The vaginal mucosa and cervical mucosa are hematoma and edema, with frequent scattered small bleedings, which look like strawberry-like protrusions, and are painful during examination or sexual intercourse.

When Trichomonas invades the urinary and reproductive system, symptoms may include lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating.

Men with trichomoniasis generally have no symptoms, but they can infect their sexual partners. Some patients have transient thick secretions from the urethra, painful urination and inability to hold urine. These symptoms often occur in the morning, and there is also mild irritation of the urethra, cold and wet urethra, and sometimes epididymal cyst infection can cause testicular pain.

Cause of lesions: Toxoplasma gondii resides in the female vagina for a long time, consumes or ingests glycogen in the squamous epithelial cells of the vagina, and blocks the formation of lactic acid bacteria. It not only destroys the acidic environment of the vagina, but also may cause abnormal growth and development of vaginal cells and cause early cancer.

Impact on the fetus: Trichomonas infection may have adverse effects on pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women suffering from candidal vaginitis not only suffer from unbearable vulvar itching, which affects their daily life and vitality, but if not treated promptly, it may also affect the pregnancy and cause placental abruption, premature birth, etc.

Impact on pregnancy: After being infected with candidal vaginitis, the natural environment in a woman's vagina changes, creating an environment that is not conducive to the survival and activity of sperm. At the same time, because Trichomonas can devour sperm, it can cause infertility, which is the most serious harm of candidal vaginitis. Candidal vaginitis affects not only pregnancy but also the quality of life.

How is trichomoniasis caused?

1. Spreading in public places

What are the causes of Trichomonas vaginitis?
