Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold. What should I do about trichomoniasis? What are the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vulvitis often follows trichomoniasis vaginitis. The vaginal trichomonas primarily feeds on the vagina, urethra, Bartholin's glands, and bladder in women. Bartholin's glands are rarely affected. Vaginal trichomonas can feed in the human body without causing clinical symptoms. Certain bacteria can cause external trichomoniasis to be highly active and symptomatic, but antibodies in the body can directly or indirectly spread, mainly through indirect transmission routes such as public baths, bath utensils, swimming pools, or unsterilized medical devices. Direct transmission can occur through sexual contact, starting from the male urinary system, and the patient's urine and feces may also be sources.
