Patient's question:
Please help the doctor answer this question. I am a woman, unmarried, and have itching in my private area. The hospital examination said it was trichomoniasis. Could you please tell me what the transmission routes of trichomoniasis are?Doctor's answer:
Hello, trichomoniasis is transmitted from the outside. For an infectious disease to spread, it must have three conditions: a source of infection, a transmission route, and susceptible individuals. As for the transmission routes, there are two types: direct transmission, such as through sexual contact, and indirect transmission. For trichomoniasis, anyone can be infected, but those with changes in vaginal pH or weakened immunity are more susceptible. After contracting trichomoniasis, very few patients can recover on their own, and even if they do, they can still be reinfected. The source of infection for trichomoniasis is those who carry the parasite and objects contaminated by industrial pollution.
