Candidal vaginitis is an external infectious gynecological disease, and its cause is generally a type of梨-shaped trichomonads entering the woman’s uterus, gradually causing inflammation. The patients are generally married women, and the treatment of this disease is very simple but also unique, because if a woman is sick, the man living together also needs to take medication for treatment.

What trichomonads fear the most

Trichomonads are extremely small parasites with microvilli, and the most common disease caused by trichomonads is candidal vaginitis, which is generally caused by sexual contact, public toilets, bathhouses, cotton towels, swimming, and other ways. Therefore, what candidal vaginitis fears is neglecting hygiene.

Candidal vaginitis is caused by infection of the female reproductive system with Trichomonas vaginalis, manifested by increased frothy or brownish leukorrhea and itching. When diagnosed with candidal vaginitis, medication for antitrichomonal drugs should be given under the specific guidance of a doctor, and it is recommended to treat sexual partners at the same time. During the treatment period, sexual life should be avoided, and attention should be paid to cleanliness and hygiene, such as breathable cotton underwear, etc.

The symptoms of candidal vaginitis are relatively unique. In the early stages of the disease, there is little discomfort, and a few patients may feel a faint burning sensation or itching. Moreover, this condition may not exist due to pregnancy or menstruation, so it will be very difficult to determine whether there is inflammation. In the later stages, the discomfort caused by inflammation will be doubled, such as blood in urine and abdominal pain, etc.

Patients with candidal vaginitis rarely choose surgery for recovery, and medication treatment is economical and simple. It is very suitable for this small problem. Whether it is Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, oral medication is a very good choice. Traditional Chinese medicine is as effective as Western medicine, so it depends on personal needs. The most common medication is metronidazole, and patients only need to take three doses a day, and after one week of treatment, a very good curative effect can be achieved. However, it should be noted that this drug is relatively strong, and it often causes symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and dizziness when taken, at this time we need to immediately adjust our medication dosage and time.

Vaginitis, such as Trichomonas vaginitis, is indeed a trivial problem for women among various gynecological diseases, and it is very easy to achieve a complete cure. However, the terrifying thing about this disease is not inherent in itself, but rather in its ability to cause a variety of other complications. For example, the most common is the ability to cause urethritis and Bartholin’s gland inflammation. This condition is much more difficult to treat than candidal vaginitis, so women should still pay attention to the cleanliness of their private parts, prevent the invasion of trichomonads into their vaginas, and take medication or seek medical attention when discomfort is detected.
