Patient's question:
After getting vaginitis, my aunt was once very afraid of this disease because she tried many methods, some of which didn't work at all and even worsened her condition. Now it has expanded into trichomoniasis vaginitis, with extremely severe itching, and besides the feeling of high feverDoctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is a common vaginal inflammation caused by the vaginal trichomonad. The trichomonad is pear-shaped with a pointed posterior end and is approximately 2 to 3 times the size of multinucleated leukocytes. At the top of the trichomonad, there are four flagella, the body has a flagellar membrane, and the posterior end has a cylindrical protrusion. The living trichomonad is translucent and colorless, resembling a water droplet. The flagella sway with the vibration of the flagellar membrane. The life cycle of the trichomonad is simple, consisting only of a trophozoite stage without a cyst stage. The trophozoite is highly viable and can survive for 2 days at 3 to 5°C.
