Symptoms and Treatment of Trichomoniasis

In modern society, more and more young people suffer from these or other sexually transmitted diseases, not from their own negligence, but from ignorance.

By themselves, sexually transmitted diseases are infections, the infection of which occurs through sexual contact. Therefore, in the first place, the organs of the genitourinary system are the object of their influence. In addition to the "classic" diseases, which include syphilis, gonorrhea, soft chancre, there are now more than 20 types of infections discovered recently. These include mycoplasma, chlamydia, herpes, trichomoniasis and others. According to the WHO classification, they are included in a separate group and are characterized by rapid spread and high contagiosity. Venereal diseases are one of the causes of sexual disorders in women and men, infertility and can lead to diseases of the newborn. One of the most common diseases of Venus is the symptoms and treatment of trichomoniasis. Annually 180 million people fall ill, which is about 10% of the world population.
The causative agent of trichomoniasis is a vaginal trichomonas, a unicellular parasite oval or pear-shaped with antennae-flagella. Unlike harmless protozoa, the symptoms and treatment of trichomoniasis are found in the genitourinary tract. Due to their flagella, these unicellular cells penetrate the urethra, upper genital tract, seminal vesicles and prostate in men, the cervix and the vagina in women without much difficulty.

Trichomonas cause not only the symptoms and treatment of trichomoniasis, but also can carry in their bodies other microorganisms that cause STDs. The most common of their companions are treponema and gonococcus. Once inside the trichomonads, they become unreachable for drugs, and until a person can get rid of unicellular parasites, other sexually transmitted diseases can not be cured.
Infection usually occurs with direct contact of a healthy person with a patient. With indirect contact, transmission of infection is unlikely - trichomonas outside the human body die within a few seconds. Destructive are direct sunlight, temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius, antiseptics and slow freezing. But on wet clothes, in sperm and urine Trichomonas retains viability throughout the day. Once in a favorable environment, for example, in the urethra, unicellular cells are attached with flagella to the tissue cells and begin to multiply intensively. When their number becomes too large, they damage the cells of the host organism. From infection to the first signs of the disease usually passes from 4 days to a month. Urogenital trichomoniasis in women is usually manifested by colpitis (inflammation of the vagina), cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix) and inflammation of the glands secreting grease during intercourse. In men, the symptoms and treatment of trichomoniasis are as follows: the prostate gland and urethra become inflamed, burning and pain appear when you visit the toilet. Women find white or yellow foamy excretions, causing irritation and itching of the genitals. Very often the scents smell of rotten fish.
The disease can occur in various forms, depending on the reaction of the organism it is acute, subacute and torpid. The first two forms are characterized by all of the above symptoms, and for torpid, more common in men, there is a scarcity of symptoms. This course is observed in chronic trichomoniasis.

A chronic disease is considered if more than 2 months have elapsed from the time of infection, and during this time, the person did not seek medical help and did not receive the necessary treatment. In chronic trichomoniasis, the periods of remission alternate with periods of exacerbation, which are caused by sexual arousal, decreased immunity, alcohol consumption and hormonal changes. Chronic disease is a serious problem, as it takes a lot of effort to diagnose, identify the pathogen and prescribe treatment. Due to changes caused by inflammation, chronic trichomoniasis can cause female infertility. The presence of trichomonads in the genital tract reduces the likelihood of pregnancy, contributing to the adhesion process. Trichomonads also violate male fertility, eating glucose, necessary for cells to move, and gluing spermatozoa.
On the basis of clinical manifestations and detection in the laboratory Trichomonads is diagnosed - urogenital trichomoniasis. Very important is the timely application for qualified medical assistance, as it is not difficult to achieve recovery in acute form. But if trichomoniasis has passed into a chronic form, treatment and diagnosis of the disease can become a serious problem. Before visiting a doctor, do not take any pills bought on the advice of experienced people - the effect of them will not be and only the diagnosis of infection will be difficult.

In addition, Trichomonas can mask the epithelial cells of the body. Due to this peculiarity, there are errors in the diagnosis of the disease, and bacterioscopic smears should be supplemented by other methods: immunological, culture, PCR. Than to treat a trichomoniasis? Complex therapy is prescribed after diagnosis. Self-medication with this infection is out of the question, the main principle of treatment is an individual approach to each case. After all, it is necessary to take into account many factors: the results of the examination, the duration of the disease, the general state of the organism, the severity of the symptoms. Therefore, only a qualified specialist can prescribe the right treatment. But the result of treatment in many ways will depend on the patient - how quickly he turned for help. Treatment is carried out simultaneously to both partners using anti-trichomonias drugs, appoint immunocorrectors, physiotherapy and vitamins. Until the end of the course of treatment will have to give up sex - re-infection of the recovered partner in this case is increased many times. After treatment, it is necessary to undergo a follow-up examination, and only according to his results the doctor will be able to say that the disease has been defeated.

Prophylaxis of trichomoniasis is directly related to people getting the necessary information about the disease. But it's necessary to think about security before, not after. Of course, this somewhat detracts from the romantic aura of relationships, but relieves many problems in the future. And do not forget about contraception, because conventional condoms can save not only from unwanted pregnancy, but also from many diseases. And it's best to refrain from "casual" connections, preferring long-term relationships with a trusted companion.
