Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is a worldwide common infectious disease which is caused by
the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Approximately ten per cent of the women
are affected by the disease. However, the prolonged gestation is made by
sexual intercourse also by towels, infectious sponges used jointly or by
bath water. The prolonged gestation by sexual contacts can be prevented with
condoms. The disease remains, at primarily men, the causative agents can
further unnoticedly be given to the partners without symptoms.
Symptoms
Women are more frequently affected by the disease. The mobile flagellate Trichomonas
vaginalis settles the vagina. The sheath ignites a couple of days after the
infection. The inflammation can spread on the os uteri later. It comes to the
pruritus and burning accompanied by a yellowish green, foamy and unpleasant
smelling discharge. The inflammation on the urethra and bladder spreads, it
hurts at the urination and it comes to a frequent urgency. Pains also can appear
at the sexual intercourse. The disease often goes without symptoms primarily
when the illness gets chronic.
The causative agents happen also at men at the mucosas of the genitalia and
at the urinary tracts. The glans penis and the foreskin ignites. The disease
goes at men without symptoms mostly. If it comes to troubles, then the symptoms
are similar as in the case of the women: Itchings, pains, a milky whitish discharge,
a frequent urgency and urinate painful. The causative agents can spread on
the bladder, the prostate and the epididymises.
These parasites cannot increase in the intestine, an infection by anal traffic
practically therefore isn't possible.
Diagnosis
The pathogens can be proved by a smear from the sheath or the urethra with
a microscopical examination. The disease often appears into combination with
other diseases like gonorrhea or Chlamydia.
Therapy

co-treated. The chances of recovery are good. Sexual intercourse should be
renounced up to the complete healing.
