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 and cold drafts. Could Trichomoniasis cause this discomfort?Doctor's answer:
Hello Trichomonas vaginalis is an anaerobic parasite,, about 2-3 times the size of multinucleated leukocytes, Trichomonas vaginalis is adapted to an environment with a pH of 5.5-6. Its growth is inhibited when the pH is below 5 or above 7.5. Trichomonas vaginalis has the characteristics of blood preference and alkaline resistance, so after menstruation, the vaginal pH decreases, which helps the adaptation of Trichomonas vaginalis. It can dissolve lactic acid iron in vaginal epithelial cells, which also facilitates the recurrence of inflammation. It is recommended to use systemic medication.
