What causes trichomoniasis?

Patient's question:

I have been very busy with training recently and often work overtime. When I go to the toilet to urinate, I feel a slight tingling sensation in my private area. My discharge is a bit more and yellowish, and my periods are very few and irregular. Is it trichomoniasis?

Doctor's answer:

Trichomoniasis is a common gynecological disease, and Trichomonas can feed on blood within the human body without causing clinical diagnostic symptoms. Trichomoniasis is primarily spread indirectly through pathways such as public baths, bath utensils, swimming pools, or inadequately sterilized medical devices. During daily life, avoid overexertion and ensure sufficient deep sleep; pay attention to preventing colds, avoid wearing tight underwear, and opt for high-quality cotton fabrics for underwear; maintain good personal hygiene, bathe frequently, and change underwear often. After defecation, use toilet paper from front to back to prevent industrial contamination of the urethra. Women should drink more water during autumn and winter to effectively cleanse the urethra and prevent infections. If urethritis recurs frequently, seek prompt medical attention at a formal hospital for examination and treatment.
