The causative agent of trichomoniasis is Trichomonas vaginalis, a sexually transmitted infection. Trichomonas capable of moving quickly, and striking in the epithelium, thereby increasing the risk of viruses and connected infections.

According to who statistics, trichomoniasis is the most common disease in the world, sexually transmitted. The number of infected reaches 170 million people. In developed countries the number of cases is lower than in the developing countries, and this is due to more awareness about the dangers of unprotected sex and a higher standard of living. If in developing countries the disease has infected about 40% of the population in developed this percentage ranges from 2% to 10%.

The causes of the disease

Lactobacilli, which are part of the microflora of the vagina is acidified by Wednesday. Thus reducing the risk of growth of parasites and harmful bacteria. But sometimes the acidity is reduced, contributing to the development of diseases, and weakening protection against the spread of bacteria.

Modern medicine has identified several reasons contributing to the decrease of acidity in the vagina:

• Promiscuitycommunication;
• Failure to comply with hygiene;
• Menstruation;
• Pregnancy.

In a weakened organism trichomoniasis is manifested always faster. Penetrating into the mucosa, the infection secretes a substance that helps her secure a foothold. After that, Trichomonas secrete a chemical compound that breaks down the vaginal mucosa and causes inflammation.

Different urogenital trichomoniasis, an infection that dwells everywhere. The disease can lead sexual intercourse without using contraceptives. It is also possible to get sick through everyday life. Infection live outside the body for about 15 minutes. Thus, through clothing or bed linen can also be infected.

But this development is observed in very rare cases.

In the chronic stage of trichomoniasis, it is recommended to first carry out the stimulation of immunity, and then apply a drug. Such a scheme of treatment is shown for the reason that the infection is resistant to drugs and quickly adapts to new tools. The reason for the adaptation can serve as incorrectly prescribed treatment. Therapy is conducted under constant supervision. If a decrease in the activity of the infection in the body, treatment leave. Otherwise prescribe other medicines.
