Symptoms and trichomoniasis treatment

Trichomoniasis — this disease, sexually transmitted. Unlike other diseases sexually transmitted, causative agents of trichomoniasis can live in the damp environment till 20 o'clock. It creates insignificant (but nevertheless real-life) threat to catch trichomoniasis a household way — for example, in a bath. Therefore it will be extremely useful to know that represents a disease, about its symptoms, treatment and prevention.

Trichomoniasis symptoms

Before the illness is shown, usually passes 1-4 weeks. At women at trichomoniasis arise allocation from a vagina — yellow color, with an unpleasant smell of rotten fish. External genitals are angry, there is a pain at an urination and at sexual contacts. Getting to urinogenital system, trichomonads cause various diseases, for example, a trikhomonadny colpitis — a vagina inflammation. There can be inflammations of a vulva, an urethra.
At men trichomoniasis proceeds without symptoms therefore the man can infect several women more often, at all without suspecting that he is sick. But happens and so that trichomonads get to a prostate gland, and then there is a pain and burning at an urination, frequent desires on an urination, an urethra pain at an ejaculation, weakening of an erection. At hit of trichomonads in an urethra at the man develops sharp уретрит. It is characterized by plentiful vydeleniye from the urethral channel, pain after an urination and sexual intercourse. Without treatment уретрит in 1-2 weeks passes to a chronic form and can exist for years. But more often trichomonads get to the top department of urinogenital system and cause prostatitis development. Prostatitis at trichomoniasis causes decrease in sexual function, irritability, a back pains, headaches, working capacity fall, memory easing.
Both men, and at women at trichomoniasis can have ulcers on genitals. Sometimes these ulcers are in appearance similar on firm шанкр, a syphilitic ulcer, and in other cases of an ulcer soft edges and pus at the bottom of an ulcer have. Emergence of ulcers is often accompanied by increase inguinal лимфоузлов.

Trichomoniasis diagnostics

At women dab from a vagina undertakes and it is investigated under a microscope — the result can be learned in 20 minutes. If the microscopy of dab didn't give result, carry out a method of a direct immunofluorescence (mutual fund) or crops. Crops — dab settlement on Wednesday favorable for bacteria. In 2-3 days of a trichomonad (if they are) will breed, and the result of crops will be positive. From men take on the analysis dab from an urethra and a prostate gland secret.
Mirsovetov would like to emphasize, what not always from the first it is possible to reveal this disease, and only repeated carrying out all these procedures allows to diagnose trichomoniasis.

Trichomoniasis treatment

Treatment of trichomoniasis lasts about 1 month. For effective treatment plan of treatment should be passed to both partners at the same time. Naturally, for the period of treatment sexual contacts are forbidden both the man, and the woman.
Against trichomonads Trikhopol (metronidazole), Nimorazol, Tinidazol, Tiberal is effective. To take medicine it is necessary so much, the doctor how many appoints. Often happens so that after several days of treatment symptoms of trichomoniasis disappear, and the patient thinks that already recovered and ceases to take medicine. But, alas, the illness renews. To suppress symptoms there is not enough, long reception of medicines not only normalizes a condition of the patient, but also kills trichomonads. To women appoint also vaginalny candles — пимафуцин, klion-D, флагил, гиналгин.
For strengthening of immunity appoint polyvitamins (ундевит, гендевит, компливит, the alphabet, витрум, центрум and others) and immunoexcitants.
After the pair sick with trichomoniasis will carry out monthly plan of treatment by protivotrikhomonadny preparations, it is necessary to carry out control and repeated analyses. At women repeated visits to the gynecologist should be carried out regularly within three months, and at men obligatory visit андролога and delivery of analyses within 1-2 months after completion of treatment.
Analyses on a trichomonad are carried out after provocation — it or a prick прогинала, after which for short time immunity and trichomonads weakens (if the patient didn't recover) again appear in dab. Provocation can be and another — a little alcohol and a spicy food cause almost same decrease in immunity, as прогинал. Alas, (1 month — it very quickly for trichomoniasis) not too is a lot of cases of fast treatment. Much more often trichomonads pass to the so-called curtailed forms — when they don't breed actively, but continuous presence them in an organism reduces immunity, causes premature birth.
For final disposal of trichomonads it can be demanded 1,5-3 years (!!!). It provided that partners are HONEST treated, don't take alcohol, have no sexual contacts during treatment (plan of treatment from 2 weeks to one month, then a break during which tests are made). If trichomonads are again revealed — new plan of treatment (and it turns out that on complete disposal of trichomoniasis about a year or more leaves). But, nevertheless, trichomoniasis is curable, and speed of treatment directly depends on how quickly the person will address for medical care. Mirsovetov also pays your attention that after treatment immunity to trichomonads isn't formed, and at chaotic sexual communications it is possible to catch again.

Trichomoniasis prevention

Not to catch, first of all, it is necessary to be true to the partner — if it and it don't change each other, trichomoniasis simply has no place to undertake. At casual sexual contacts the condom, under condition of its correct use gives the most reliable protection. If nevertheless there was an unprotected sexual intercourse, it is necessary to carry out preventive therapy to avoid disease development. However, use of disinfectant solutions of type мирамистин, хлоргексидина doesn't give 100 % of a guarantee of protection against an illness. After unprotected sexual intercourse with the casual partner there is a sense to make the test on the latent sexually transmitted infections, after all with trichomonads side by side go уреплазмы, mycoplasmas, гонококки and many other causative agents of dangerous diseases. To avoid household infection with trichomoniasis Mirsovetov recommends to you not to take in hands another's towels, bedroom-slippers in the pool or in a bath, not to use another's hairbrushes and means of personal hygiene, more often to wash hands.
