Is trichomonal vaginitis contagious? Anyone can be infected with trichomonal vaginitis, and those with vaginal pH changes or low immunity are more likely to be infected. Few patients can recover from trichomonas infection. Even if they are cured, they can be reinfected next time. So female friends must pay attention to prevention.
The source of infection of trichomoniasis is those who carry insects and contaminated objects. Trichomonal vaginitis is how to spread? As for the way of transmission, there are direct transmission, that is, sexual life transmission and indirect transmission. In foreign countries, vaginal trichomoniasis is mainly transmitted through sexual life, so it belongs to sexually transmitted diseases. In China, the mode of communication is different. Due to the large population and the relatively backward public health facilities in China, the transmission in public places has become an important way of transmission. For example, if the seats in public baths or toilets are contaminated by the secretions of the infected person, the latter person may be infected if he sits directly on the seats or toilets. Public baths, swimming pools with high density and lax disinfection in summer, borrowing other people's underwear, renting swimsuits, etc. may cause the spread of Trichomonas. In addition, the mutual use of bathtubs and iatrogenic cross infection among family members also lead to the indirect transmission of Trichomonas.
How to prevent the infection of trichomonal vaginitis
1. Advocate shower, less bath. Because Trichomonas has a strong survival ability in the external environment, and the bath temperature of about 40 ℃ is the most suitable temperature for the growth of Trichomonas. Therefore, it is easy to cause cross infection by bathing frequently. The bathtub in the home should also be cleaned after use. When defecating, try not to use the sitting toilet in the public toilet, do not borrow other people's underwear and swimsuit, and do not go to the swimming pool with poor disinfection.
2. When the spouse suffers from trichomoniasis, it is necessary to reduce or even better not to have sex. Use condoms during sex.
3. Use a separate basin to clean your underwear. The patient's underwear and towel should be boiled and disinfected.
4. Both men and women are governed by the same law. Less than 20% of male patients with trichomoniasis have symptoms, and others are symptomatic carriers. If only the wife is treated and the husband is not treated, the sex life is unprotected. Even if the wife is cured, she will be reinfected by the husband through the sex life.
