What causes male trichomoniasis? Be alert after reading this

Once a man contracts trichomoniasis, he will definitely suffer from a lot of discomfort, which is something no man wants to see. Therefore, this article will take you to a detailed understanding of the causes of trichomoniasis, with the aim of hoping that everyone will learn the relevant preventive measures.

1. Trichomonas is almost immobile in winter and only moves more obviously when the weather is hot, so it is more common in summer. According to experts, Trichomonas parasitizes in the vagina and urethra of women, while in the urethra, foreskin, prostate or epididymis of men.

2. After a man is infected with trichomoniasis, the trichomonads mainly parasitize in the urethra, bladder and prostate, causing local inflammation. If we mix the patient's urethral secretions or prostatic fluid with a proper amount of warm salt water and examine it under a microscope, if we can see active trichomonads, we can diagnose trichomoniasis.

3. If a man is infected with trichomoniasis, he often feels itchy and burning in the urethra after urination. If accompanied by other secondary infections, the secretions in the urethra will not only increase, but also become purulent. If the infection spreads to the posterior urethra, it will cause symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, and urinary pain, and even complicated by prostatitis. If the infection spreads to the epididymis of the seminal vesicle, it will cause male sexual dysfunction, impotence, premature ejaculation, and infertility.

4. These symptoms often appear on the first night after sexual intercourse, and may disappear on their own, and reappear after the next sexual intercourse. In more serious cases, in addition to symptoms of urinary tract infection such as frequent urination, urinary pain, urethral itching and burning, and increased urethral secretions, systemic symptoms such as physical discomfort, loss of appetite, insomnia, and headache may also occur.

5. If a man is diagnosed with trichomoniasis, he should not be nervous and should dispel his doubts. Because trichomoniasis is not a serious disease, it can be completely cured with general treatment and there are no sequelae. He and his wife should receive treatment at the same time. During the treatment period, it is best not to have sex to avoid reinfection.
