One of the most common sexually transmitted diseases is trichomoniasis. Its causative agents are the simplest unicellular organisms - vaginal Trichomonas, which parasitize exclusively in the human body. Trichomoniasis is almost never transmitted through the household, since Trichomonas does not survive outside the human body.
Men, like women, are susceptible to this disease, only they have almost no symptoms, and most often they themselves do not suspect that they are carriers of this infection. The appearance of Trichomonas in the prostate gland causes pain, burning, urination during urination . If Trichomonas settled in the upper genitourinary system, then they can lead to prostatitis.
In women, trichomoniasis is more pronounced. The entry of Trichomonas into the vagina is accompanied by the presence of foamy discharge of yellow color. In this case, irritation appears on the external genitalia, the inner sides of the thighs. All this causes itching and burning. When urinating, pains are felt, and during intercourse painful sensations appear. Uterine bleeding is also possible, and treatment of trichomoniasis in women can take a more serious character. The course of the disease is accompanied by nervousness and irritability of the patient.
Only strict observance of all the rules will help get rid of this disease.
First of all, the treatment of trichomoniasis in a woman should be accompanied in parallel with the treatment of the sexual partner, since a unilateral struggle with this ailment will not lead to anything. Another condition is the complete exclusion of sexual contact.
Treatment of trichomoniasis, drugs that must be taken at the same time - all this should be under the supervision of a gynecologist. Self-medication in this case is unacceptable. The duration of medication is determined by the doctor. Sometimes after two to three days of taking the symptoms, the symptoms may disappear, and the patient will seem to have recovered. The patient stops taking the medication and thereby makes a gross mistake. The disease resumes with renewed vigor. Treatment of trichomoniasis in women is a long process, accompanied not only by the long-term use of medications, but also by the constant delivery of tests to determine the presence or disappearance of trichomonads. The duration of treatment can reach several months. During this time, the woman needs to produce the so-called provocation, which is carried out by introducing the body into the body - an injection that weakens the woman's immunity. Trichomonads, if they are available, immediately make themselves felt, and if the patient has not completed the treatment, then the doctor will certainly find them in the smear. Also, treatment of trichomoniasis in women can be carried out by prescribing vaginal suppositories - "Pimafucin", "Klion-D", "Ginalgin", "Flagila".
To finally get rid of this infection, it may take from one and a half to three years. But this is only if the treatment will be carried out simultaneously by both partners. Trichomoniasis is a treatable disease, but the timing of its treatment directly depends on how quickly the patient turned to a doctor for help.
The treatment of trichomoniasis during pregnancy is especially carefully and with an increased degree of responsibility, since in this case two people are at risk - the mother and her unborn child. The appointment of antibiotics is carried out only as a last resort. Baths with chamomile, furatsilina and other means are the basis of treatment. These solutions can also be used for douching, and candles are also used. In order for the body of a pregnant woman to be able to fight the disease on her own, she needs to strengthen her immunity. This is achieved by taking multivitamins and vitamins with minerals.
At the end of the full course of treatment, one should not interrupt the observation by a doctor for two to three months. And most importantly, compliance with personal hygiene rules.
