What is a trichomoniasis in men, especially the symptoms and treatment

Among infections, sexually transmitted diseases, trichomoniasis in men is one of the first places on the prevalence. Complicates the diagnosis and treatment at an early stage the fact that Trichomonas infection in the male body is often absolutely not manifested. Such asymptomatic disease causes the transition of the disease into a chronic variant of course of trichomoniasis in men.

Why illness occurs

Cause of trichomoniasis in men is one of the varieties of Trichomonas – protozoa, unicellular parasites, namely: vaginal Trichomonas. Under the microscope, the parasite looks like a drop pear shaped with a tail. Trichomonas lives only in a humid environment is anaerobic (does not need oxygen) and in air under the influence of sunlight quickly die.

Once in the human organism, Trichomonas almost always provokes the pathological process. In addition, it is a symbiotic interacts with various urogenital infections: bacteria-pathogens Trichomonas freely penetrate into the cell, which hides them from the immune system. Himself-celled parasite successfully masked by the epithelium of man and becomes indistinguishable for the immune system.

The peculiarities of

The incubation period of trichomoniasis can vary from 1 to 4 weeks. Treatment of trichomoniasis in men is hampered initially by the fact that the disease often doesn't have any symptoms, and eventually becomes a chronic process.

In the case of symptoms of trichomoniasis in men, the most characteristic are the following features:

• pain and burning sensation or cramps when urinating;
• sudden urination in the morning;
• discharge from the urethra (usually minor) – purulent or white foam;
• the presence of blood in the urine and/or semen;
• pain, heaviness or discomfort in the perineum or deep in the pelvic area (symptoms of prostatitis).

The defeat of the urethra leads to urethritis. In the case of ascending infection developing cystitis and pyelonephritis, which are manifested by respective symptoms.

Signs the acute form of trichomoniasis in men can be detected within 2 weeks from the onset of the disease, after which the clinical picture is smoothed or completely disappears and trichomoniasis becomes chronic. Therefore the first symptoms of the disease in the urogenital region of the Department should be a signal to visit a urologist. The disease itself does not pass, and better to make in the absence of reasons to worry than to treat years running trichomoniasis in men.

Diagnostic methods

Trichomoniasis is detected on the basis of patient complaints, as a result of the inspectionspecialist and laboratory studies of the materials obtained from the patient. The main methods of determining the presence of Trichomonas infection are the various methods of laboratory research. With this purpose in men taking swabs from the urethra and urine.

Laboratory methods:

• microscopic examination of native preparations, the sensitivity of the method is less than 60%;
• culture – diagnosis by painted drugs, high-precision analysis, but requires time-consuming and have limitations;
• immunological, with the use of labeled antibodies;
• PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a highly sensitive method for rapid detection of DNA of Trichomonas.

Methods of detection of infection does not ensure accurate result. If you have symptoms of trichomoniasis, but not detected laboratory pathogens should be conducted through repeated research by all available means.

Therapeutic measures

Treatment of trichomoniasis should be carried out only by a physician, who monitors the results of laboratory studies. It is unacceptable to treat yourself, based on the experience of others. Pills and medicinal drugs are always individual, according to the form of manifestation of Trichomonas and related infections. Attempt to cure the disease in a foreign schema, using pills and medications, can lead to complications of the condition and eventually to irreversible consequences.

In the treatment of the disease doctors use sensitive protivotrihomonadnyh drugs that have antibacterial effects. At the same time appointed drugs for General and local therapy:

• General purpose of the drug is to destroy the causative agent of trichomoniasis inside the body;
• topically applied drugs have to treat the symptoms of a trichomoniasis, that is, to provide symptomatic treatment (itching, irritation, inflammation).

Use outdoor (local) therapy as an independent ineffective. It should only be applied in the complex.

In addition, the prescribed treatment, as well as any use of antibiotics, is only courses. Medications taken in a continuous rate, even if all signs and symptoms of the disease have disappeared.

Standard treatment for trichomoniasis is 10 days. But in each case the doctor, focusing on the signs, writes the individual schemes, using efficient pills and drugs.

In the case of advanced forms of treatment lasts until the complete disappearance of symptoms and significant confirmation laboratory studies of absence in the male body Trichomonas infection. Because to treat trichomoniasis – does not mean cure; the patient must comply with all the requirementsand the advice of a doctor, otherwise, despite medication, the symptoms of trichomoniasis will then disappear, then return.

Mandatory requirements that must be strictly applied to cure trichomoniasis in men:

• during the medication, you should refrain from sexual relations;
• the mandatory factor is the diet – spicy, fried and salty is unacceptable for use;
• strictly forbidden the intake of alcohol beverages of any strength – medications used to treat trichomoniasis, incompatible with alcohol;
• strict observance of rules of personal hygiene, which includes daily change of underwear and water treatment.

To treat men Trichomonas infection is necessary, along with their partners. When identifying the symptoms of trichomoniasis in men to treat the partner should be regardless of her symptoms.

To suppress the activity of vaginal Trichomonas used drugs (antibiotics), not only inhibit pathogens, but also disrupts the normal balance of microorganisms in the gut of men. These drugs should be taken together with dairy products rich in bifidus bacteria and is able to eliminate the symptoms of dysbiosis.

In the disease process the body's resistance to men is reduced, resulting in additional secondary infections immunomodulirutee, drugs are assigned on a mandatory basis. Well proven drugs such as tincture of ginseng, Chinese lemongrass, leuzea, or – they are quick to temper the symptoms of immune deficiency, strengthening the body.

In addition to the use of drugs for the treatment of men to use effectively massage the prostate, physical therapy and instillation of the urethra. After treatment control study conducted patient tissues for men a sign of the absence of the pathogen are pure tests for two months.

Complications and consequences

With the defeat of the male body Trichomonas infection in the absence of symptoms of trichomoniasis, running form is difficult to treat, leading to inflammation of the prostate gland. In the future, it provokes a decrease in sperm motility, which is equivalent to male infertility.

However, trichomoniasis in men is not a sentence. Modern medicine is able to cope with the problem. Men need to pay more attention to your body and not to postpone the visit to the urologist.
