Trichomoniasis

I-Trichomoniasis yisifo esidluliselwa ngocansi esivamile esibangelwa yi-parasite. Kwabesifazane, i-trichomoniasis ingabangela ukopha komalunga esifubeni okunuka kabi, ukukhahlela kwesitho sobulili, nokuthuthumela okuhlungu. Amadoda ane-trichomoniasis ngokuvamile awanawo ama-symptom. Abesifazane abakhulelwe abanayo i-trichomoniasis bangase babe sengozini enkulu yokubeletha izingane zabo ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Ukwelashwa kwe-trichomoniasis ukusebenzisa i-antibiotic—ngokwesibonelo i-metronidazole (Flagyl), i-tinidazole (Tindamax) noma i-secnidazole (Solosec). Ukuvimbela ukutheleleka futhi, bonke abalingani bocansi kufanele baphathwe ngesikhathi esifanayo. Unganciphisa ingozi yokutheleleka ngokusebenzisa ama-condom ngendlela efanele njalo lapho uya ocansini.

Abantu abaningi abane-trichomoniasis abanawo ubufakazi noma izimpawu. Noma kunjalo, izimpawu zingase zivele ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Uma ubufakazi kanye nezibonakaliso zivele, ziyahluka kubantu besilisa nabesifazane.

Kubantu besifazane, ubufakazi kanye nezibonakaliso ze-trichomoniasis zihlanganisa:

• Inani elikhulu lokukhishwa okunqunu, okuvame ukuba nomphunga omubi, oluvela esibelethweni — olungase lube sobala, mhlophe, luhlaza okwesiliva, oluphuzi noma oluhlaza okwesundu
• Ubomvu, ukushisa nokuthimula kwesitho sobulili
• Ubuhlungu ngesikhathi sokuthamba noma ucansi
• Ukungahambi kahle endaweni yesisu ephansi

Kubantu besilisa, i-trichomoniasis ayivame ukubangela izimpawu. Noma kunjalo, uma abantu besilisa benesibonakaliso kanye nezibonakaliso, kungase kuhlanganise:

• Ukuthimula noma ukuvuvukala ngaphakathi kwepenisi
• Ukushisa ngesikhathi sokuthamba noma ngemuva kokukhishwa
• Ukukhishwa oluvela epeniseni

Bona uhlinzeki wakho wezempilo uma unezithonjana zanoma iyiphi i-trichomoniasis noma uma uqaphela ukuthi iqabane lakho lobulili lineleli gciwane.

I-Trichomoniasis ibangelwa yi-protozoan eneselula elilodwa, uhlobo lwe-parasite encane ebizwa nge-Trichomonas vaginalis. Le parasite idluliselana phakathi kwabantu ngesikhathi sokuthintana kwezitho zangasese, okuhlanganisa ubulili besisu, ngomlomo noma ngemuva. Ukutheleleka kungadluliselana phakathi kwamadoda nabesifazane, abesifazane, kanti ngezinye izikhathi namadoda.

Le parasite iyangena endaweni engezansi yesisu. Kwabesifazane, lokhu kuhlanganisa ingxenye yangaphandle yezitho zangasese (vulva), isiphuphu, ukuvula kwesisu (cervix) nokuvula komchamo (urethra). Kumadoda, le parasite iyangena ngaphakathi kwepenisi (urethra).

Isikhathi esiphakathi kokubekwa engcupheni yale parasite nokutholakala kokutheleleka (inkathi yokukhula) asaziwa. Kodwa kukholelwa ukuthi kusukela ezinsukwini ezine kuya kwezingama-28. Ngisho noma ungenawo ama-symptom, wena noma umlingani wakho ningasabalalisa lokhu kutheleleka.

Izimbangela ezingozi zokuthola i-trichomoniasis zihlanganisa ukuba noku:

• Abalingani abaningi bobulili
• Umlando wezinye izifo ezithathelwana ngobulili (STIs)
• Isigameko sangaphambili se-trichomoniasis
• Ubulili ngaphandle kwe-kondomu

Abesifazane abakhulelwe abanesi-trichomoniasis bangase:

• Babele ngaphambi kwesikhathi (ngokukhahlela)
• Babe ne-baby enesisindo esincane sokuzalwa
• Banikeze usana ukutheleleka njengoba ingane idlula endleleni yokubeletha

Ukuba ne-trichomoniasis kubangela ukuvuvukala endaweni yobudoda okungenza kube lula ezinye izifo ezithathelwana ngobulili (STIs) ukungena emzimbeni noma ukuzithumela kwabanye. I-trichomoniasis ibonakala futhi iyenze kube lula ukutheleleka yi-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), i-virus ebangela i-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

I-trichomoniasis ihlotshaniswa nenhlanhla enkulu yomdlavuza we-cervical noma we-prostate.

Uma ingalashwa, ukutheleleka kwe-trichomoniasis kungagcina izinyanga kuya eminyakeni.

Njengoba kunjalo nezinye izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi, indlela kuphela yokuvimbela i-trichomoniasis ukungabi nobudlelwane bobulili. Ukuze unciphise ingozi yakho, sebenzisa amakhondomu angaphakathi noma angaphandle ngokufanele njalo lapho uba nobudlelwane bobulili.

Umhlinzeki wakho wezinsizakalo zezempilo angase aqaphele i-trichomoniasis ngokwenza ukuhlolwa kwezitho zangasese kanye nezivivinyo zelebhu.

Umhlinzeki wakho wezinsizakalo zezempilo angase futhi abukele isampula yephukuthe le-vagina kwabesifazane noma i-swab evela ngaphakathi kwepenisi (urethra) kwabesilisa ngaphansi komkhiqizo. Uma i-parasite ingabonakala ngaphansi komkhiqizo, azikho ezinye izivivinyo ezidingekayo.

Uma ukuhlolwa kungabonisi i-parasite, kodwa umhlinzeki wakho ucabanga ukuthi ungase ube ne-trichomoniasis, ezinye izivivinyo zingase zenziwe. Umhlinzeki wakho angase ayalele ukuhlolwa okwenziwe esampulini yephukuthe le-vagina, i-swab ye-urethra yepenisi noma ngezinye izikhathi umchamo. Izivivinyo zihlanganisa ukuhlolwa okusheshayo kwe-antigen kanye nokuhlolwa kokukhulisa i-nucleic acid.

Uma une-trichomoniasis, umhlinzeki wakho angase futhi enze izivivinyo zezinye izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi (STIs) ukuze zitholakale futhi zitholwe ukwelashwa.
