What are the causes of Trichomonas vaginitis? What are the preventive measures for Trichomonas vaginitis?

Trichomonas vaginitis is a type of vaginitis and a gynecological disease that requires our attention. It is particularly harmful to patients. This disease is mainly prevented in life.

Causes of Trichomonas vaginitis

1. Skin lesions: If female friends have skin lesions, such as abrasions, herpes, etc., it will cause vulvar itching and peeling, and eventually lead to Trichomonas vaginitis.

2. Inappropriate clothing: If women usually like to wear non-breathable jeans and tight underwear, it will cause the local temperature and humidity of the vulva and vagina to rise, and slight friction will easily cause maceration of the vulva and vaginal mucosa or vaginal damage, leading to Trichomonas vaginitis.

3. Transmission in public places: If female friends do not pay attention to the hygiene of public facilities, they are likely to be infected with Trichomonas vaginitis.

4. Drug allergy or chemical irritation: If female friends are allergic to soap and condoms, it may cause contact or allergic dermatitis, or even Trichomonas vaginitis.

5. Bad hygiene habits: If female friends do not pay attention to personal hygiene and private parts cleaning, and are irritated by vaginal secretions for a long time, it may also cause Trichomonas vaginitis.

6. Nutritional disorders: Trauma, hormone or nutritional disorders, immune dysfunction, bacterial flora disorders caused by antibiotics and cytotoxic drugs, or changes in the barrier function of the skin and mucosa may also lead to the occurrence of the disease.

7. Physiological reasons: The probability of women being infected with Trichomonas vaginitis is still very high, especially women with low immunity are more susceptible to infection and are less likely to recover on their own.

8. Sexual intercourse causes women to not pay attention to hygiene during sex, or men to not pay attention to hygiene. When having sex with women, it is easy to get infected with Trichomonas vaginitis.

Preventing Trichomonas vaginitis

1. Do a good gynecological examination every year: Don't be ashamed to treat trichomoniasis vaginitis: Many female friends lack self-care awareness and rarely take the initiative to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination. Even if they know that they have gynecological diseases, some people may think that gynecological diseases are a minor illness. As long as it does not affect work and life, they can go to the hospital for a check-up. Some women are silent about gynecological diseases, always thinking that gynecological diseases are a disease that is shameful to talk about and private, which makes the inflammation unable to be cured in time and the disease spreads. These are all incorrect practices. It is best for female friends to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination every year for early treatment and prevention of diseases.

2. Pay attention to the hygiene of public places: try not to use public bathtubs. When going to the toilet in public places, it is best to choose a squatting toilet and try not to use the toilet. Before swimming in a public swimming pool that is not strictly disinfected, it is best to stay in a hotel with relatively strict disinfection and try to use your own bath towel.

3. Healthy women should never use various vaginal washes indiscriminately: The reproductive organs of healthy women have relatively complete self-defense functions in terms of anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry, which can prevent infections caused by external factors. There are many vaginal washes on the market designed to prevent and treat gynecological diseases. Although these washes have certain efficacy in treating gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, for healthy women, long-term use will interfere with the ecological balance in the vagina, inhibit the growth of beneficial bacteria, and cause pathogenic microorganisms such as mold to take advantage of the situation and cause various vaginitis and cervicitis. What is more terrible is that when washing, foreign pathogenic microorganisms may infect the pelvic cavity upward, causing gynecological diseases such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Healthy women keep their vulva clean. They only need to wash the vulva with clean water every day, change underwear every day, dry it in the sun for disinfection, do not wear underwear made of chemical fiber and artificial fabrics, and develop a good habit of washing hands before and after defecation.

4. Pay attention to hygiene and menstrual hygiene: Once infected with Trichomonas vaginitis, measures should be taken to prevent infection of others. Couples' underwear, bed sheets, washing towels, etc. should be boiled and disinfected for 5 to 10 minutes and dried in the sun. Washing utensils and bedding, such as towels and bathtubs, should be used separately. After recovery, pay attention to timely boiling and disinfecting underwear, bed sheets and other personal items to avoid repeated infection.

5. Husband and wife should be treated together: When suffering from Trichomonas vaginitis, both husband and wife must be treated at the same time. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during treatment. Strictly follow the doctor's orders for medication. Do not think that you are cured after the symptoms such as itching improve and stop taking the medicine without authorization, or ignore the follow-up examination after taking the medicine. Do not go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine on your own. In short, the treatment must be thorough to avoid recurrence.

6. Develop good living habits: In order to prevent the occurrence of trichomoniasis vulvitis, female friends should develop good living habits in life, try not to eat spicy and irritating foods in their daily diet, but eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Make sure to get enough sleep every day, avoid staying up late for a long time, and avoid excessive drinking and smoking.

7. Keep your private parts clean: Female friends should keep their private parts clean in their daily lives. During the cleaning process, warm water should be used, and too much detergent or soap should be rarely used. In daily life, underwear should also be changed frequently, and should be exposed to the sun after cleaning.

8. Loose and breathable underwear: Women must wear loose and breathable underwear to avoid irritating the vulva skin and aggravating the symptoms. Change underwear frequently, boil and disinfect underwear, basins, and towels to avoid repeated infection of trichomoniasis vaginitis

9. Eliminate the source of infection: Since the disease is easy to infect, very popular, and the proportion of healthy insect patients is quite large, regular leucorrhea trichomonas examinations should be carried out on obstetrics and gynecology outpatients and inpatients as much as possible, and efforts should be made to detect and treat it as early as possible to eliminate the source of infection. In order to achieve the purpose of prevention and control, factories, schools, township enterprises and residents should conduct regular census and treatment, and pay attention to the prevention and control of the patient's spouse.

10. Eliminate communication methods: Improve the welfare of citizens, promote showers, abolish public bathrooms, replace them with squat toilets, strictly prohibit patients with trichomoniasis from entering swimming pools, and do not rent public swimsuits and towels. The examination equipment and clothing used in hospitals should be strictly disinfected. The disinfected towel on the examination table must be used by each person and replaced immediately.
