What is Trichomonas vaginitis?

Trichomonas vaginitis is mainly caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis, which is transmitted through sexual contact. This cause is somewhat contagious, so timely diagnosis and treatment are very important. Genetic factors are not obvious in the onset of Trichomonas vaginitis. Its main transmission route is through sexual intercourse with an infected person or direct contact with infected objects. A moist and warm environment can promote the spread of this disease and the growth of parasites. Symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, abnormal color, sometimes accompanied by odor, and may also cause vaginal itching, burning sensation, and frequent urination. If these symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment.

Antibiotics are the most common treatment for Trichomonas vaginitis, with metronidazole and tinidazole being the most common medications of choice. Metronidazole can be taken orally or in topical form, while tinidazole is often used in patients who are allergic to metronidazole. For recurrent cases, doctors sometimes recommend extended medications. It is important for partners to be treated at the same time to avoid recurrent infection. Practicing good hygiene and using condoms during treatment are both effective preventive measures.

To prevent Trichomonas vaginitis, you need to pay attention to many aspects, such as ensuring personal hygiene, especially the cleanliness of the genital area, which needs to be gently washed with warm water every day. At the same time, be careful to avoid unprotected sex with infected people, and conduct regular screening of long-term partners to detect and treat potential infections early. In terms of diet, eating more foods rich in vitamin C can help enhance immunity. Moderate exercise, such as 30 minutes of brisk walking every day, can also help enhance the body's resistance. If symptoms persist or recur, it is very necessary to seek medical advice in time to adjust the treatment plan.
