Trichomonas Vaginalis infection among women in Ikwuano Abia State Nigeria
A study on Trichomoniasis was conducted to determine the prevalence, symptoms and factors that promote the transmission of Trichomonas Vaginalis among women of Ikwuano in Abia State using high vaginal swab and urine samples. A total of 600 women aged between 14-60 years were examined and 112 (18.67%...

| description | A study on Trichomoniasis was conducted to determine the prevalence,
symptoms and factors that promote the transmission of Trichomonas
Vaginalis among women of Ikwuano in Abia State using high vaginal
swab and urine samples. A total of 600 women aged between 14-60 years
were examined and 112 (18.67%) were infected with Trichomoniasis. The
highest prevalence of Trichomonas Vaginalis infection (20.57%) was
observed among the age group of 21-30 years, the least (7.8%) was
observed among those of 41-50years while 51-60 age group had no
infection at all. Occupational related prevalence revealed that traders
had the highest (30%) followed by students (19.78%), civil servants
(15.66%) and house wives had the least (8.33%). In relation to marital
status, single women had the highest (19.72%). While widows had the
least (9.09%). Symptomatic individuals had characteristic symptoms such
as itching/rashes (3.83%), Genital sores (2.88%), Hot feeling sensation
(4.50%), Greenish yellow discharge (6.00%), while very few had no
symptom at all. Lack of hygiene, ignorance, poverty, promiscuity and
factors influencing the transmission. Trichomonas vaginalis is a common
sexually transmitted disease among women in Ikwuano Abia State. Proper
sex education especially for the adolescent and youths should be
intensified so as to ensure a population fully aware of the medical
implications of STD and hence reduce the spread and other health
complications as a result of the infection. |
