It turns out that Trichomonas urethritis is transmitted in this way!

When it comes to diseases that involve privacy, few people will take the initiative to mention them. Some may even delay treatment due to shyness, thus aggravating the severity of the disease. So, how does trichomonal urethritis spread, and what are its symptoms?

Source of infection:

Women are infected with vaginal trichomonas through swimming, toilets, public seats, bathing, sexual intercourse, renting swimsuits, and family members sharing bathtubs. The parasites then live in the vagina. This then causes urethral infection, and in severe cases, urethral purulent. Then, through sexual intercourse, men are infected. In addition to trichomonal urethritis, it can also cause cystitis and prostatitis.

Pathogenic mechanism:

Vaginal Trichomonas generally parasitizes the urogenital system. When the parasite grows in the epithelial cells of the vaginal wall, it consumes glycogen, which hinders the lactic acid bacteria in the vagina from fermenting and producing lactic acid, causing the pH value of the vagina to change from normal acidity to neutral or alkalinity, which is suitable for the growth of parasites and bacteria, thus destroying the so-called "self-cleaning function" of the vagina.

Therefore, women should use pH4 weak acidic feminine care liquid for daily cleaning of private parts. pH4 weak acidic feminine care liquid can maintain the "self-cleaning function" of the vagina and inhibit the infection of vaginal Trichomonas. Other in vitro experiments have shown that the worm can secrete a variety of factors to play a role in attachment and contact killing of host tissues.

The clinical incubation period is 4 to 28 days

Diagnosis of Trichomonas Urethritis

1. Symptoms and signs Itching and burning pain at the urethral opening, accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, dysuria and terminal hematuria. The urethral opening is red and swollen, with a small amount of colorless, transparent, thin or milky secretions. There is a small amount of secretions attached to the urethral opening in the morning.

2. Laboratory examination: Take fresh urethral secretions, urine, or prostatic fluid, add saline smear microscopy, and active Trichomonas can be found.

3. Cystourethroscopy can reveal congestion in the posterior urethra, bladder neck, and trigone, as well as small red papillary polyp-like protrusions with a thin layer of flocs attached.

Symptoms of Trichomonas urethritis in men

Symptom 1:

The incubation period of trichomonal urethritis is usually 4-7 days. In severe cases, the vulva and inner thighs may be itchy and burning. When the urinary tract is infected at the same time, patients with urethritis and cystitis may have symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination, as well as hematuria. When retrograde infection leads to pyelonephritis, there are chills, back pain, high fever, general discomfort, and gastrointestinal reactions. Physical examination shows tenderness and percussion pain at the costovertebral angle. The symptoms and signs are the same as those of general bacterial urinary tract infection.

Symptom 2:

There is pain when urinating. There is a small amount of discharge from the urethra in the morning, which is serous and occasionally purulent.

Symptoms of Trichomonas urethritis in women

Persistent vaginitis, vaginal discharge increases, is serous or purulent, thin, contains small bubbles, has a fishy smell, and is yellow-green in color. There is pain during sexual intercourse. There is difficulty urinating and itching of the vulva. In severe cases, there is itching and burning sensation in the vagina, vulva, and inner thighs. In cases of simultaneous infection of the urinary tract, urethritis, and cystitis, there may be symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, as well as hematuria.

When retrograde infection leads to pyelonephritis, there are chills, back pain, high fever, general discomfort and gastrointestinal reactions. Physical examination shows costovertebral angle tenderness and percussion pain.

Notes

The source of infection for female patients with trichomonas vaginitis is usually their male spouse, and male patients often have no symptoms, so both men and women should be treated at the same time. Otherwise, the man will continue to "send" trichomonas to the woman through sexual intercourse, causing repeated infection. Or the woman will infect the man, causing continuous cross-infection.

The treatment of female trichomonal urethritis must be thorough sterilization, leaving no dead corners, and treating urethritis while also treating the root cause - trichomonal vaginitis. Improving the "self-cleaning function" of the vagina is the key.

Therefore, women should use pH4 weak acidic feminine care liquid for daily cleaning of private parts. pH4 weak acidic feminine care liquid can maintain the "self-cleaning function" of the vagina and inhibit the infection of vaginal trichomonas. It completely solves the problem of incomplete treatment and recurrence of gynecological inflammation.
