Trichomonas vaginitis is one of the common gynecological diseases in women, especially for pregnant women, with a relatively high incidence of the disease. If pregnant women suffer from trichomonas vaginitis, it can be quite troublesome. Because pregnant women have a special constitution, medication cannot be taken casually. So, how is trichomoniasis caused during pregnancy?
Trichomonas vaginitis during pregnancy is mainly caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis. Other sexually transmitted diseases or having multiple sexual partners are also high-risk factors for trichomonas vaginitis. Sexual intercourse is also one of the direct ways of transmission of trichomonas vaginitis. The probability of male to female transmission through sexual intercourse is relatively high because males infected with trichomonas have no symptoms and are prone to infection.
Trichomonas vaginitis during pregnancy can also be indirectly transmitted through contaminated medical equipment, public baths, clothing, bathtubs, toilets, bath towels, accessories, or swimming pools. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid these places during pregnancy and pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse as much as possible.
When pregnant women suffer from trichomonas vaginitis, they should clean and change their underwear, try to use hot water to wash underwear, and expose underwear to the sun for sterilization. Wash the external genitalia with salt water or clean water every day, and try not to use a bath.
