Silent danger that cannot be seen with the naked eye: vaginal parasites , a risk of sexually transmitted diseases

What is vaginal parasites?

Asst. Prof. Dr. Orawin Vallipakorn, Department of Reproductive Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, ยูฟ่าเบท http://ufabet999.app provided information that Trichomoniasis is a type of sexually transmitted disease caused by infection with a protozoan called Trichomonas vaginalis. It can be found in both males and females, but is more common in females. The parasite is very small and cannot be seen with the naked eye; it must be viewed through a microscope. The scary thing about this disease is that if infected, only 20-30 percent of patients will show symptoms, causing many people to be unaware and spread the infection to their sexual partners.

• There is an abnormal amount of vaginal discharge, which is frothy and may have a fishy odor.
• There is bleeding from the vagina.
• Swelling, redness, itching, or burning sensation in the genital area
• Frequent urination

If left untreated, it can spread to the urethra and bladder, causing inflammation. Since the urethra and vagina are close together, it can easily become infected. In the long term, it can increase the risk of cervical cancer and cause infertility in the future.
