Toilet Infections: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment
Toilet infections, which is often referred to as toilet disease by some people is a condition in which a female experiences discomfort such as burning, itching and unpleasant or foul odour coming right from the va**na.
The condition is named toilet infection because most ladies could swear, they started experiencing the discomfort after the use of public toilet seat.
Regardless of how its viewed, toilet infections can be darned uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing as the itching tends to occur when you are out in public places.
Toilet infection is the layman (non-professional) term for va**nal infection.
There are several kinds of these infections. However, the most common types are
โข Bacterial Vaginosis
โข Vaginal Yeast infection
โข Trichomoniasis
โข Others include
โข Gonorrhoea
โข Chlamydia
โข Non Infectious vaginitis
โข Viral vaginitis
As a matter of fact, knowing the exact type of toilet infection you are experiencing may be a bit difficult despite that they may have different symptoms. The reason for this is that Vaginitis has many causes and you may have more than one at the same time.
Do you know that untreated toilet infections (va**nal infection) can cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), a major culprit responsible for infertility in women?
Symptoms of toilet Infections
The common symptoms of the various kinds of toilet infection are: burning, irritation, redness, and swelling of the v***a, with a yellow-gray or greenish va**nal discharge, possibly with a fishy odour. Some women also experience pain during urination. Painful ruination, painful in*******se, v***a redness..., blood stain during s*x, or even painful menstruation.
Treatment:
The question now is: is it possible for a woman to get an infection from using a toilet? The answer is yes; mostly public toilets in poor sanitary condition or any other shared toilet facility, other causes could be sharing un**es, poor personal hygiene, forgotten tampons.
However, from experience, most ladies are usually shy to admit that they had unprotected s*xual in*******se prior to the onset of symptoms blaming even s*xually transmitted diseases on โthe toiletโ.
In essence, what I am saying is that -not every infection is a toilet infection especially when one has had a risky s*xual practice prior to the onset of symptoms.
You must see a competent health consultant for appropriate diagnosis and prompt treatment to avoid complications such as infertility or progression to Pelvic inflammatory disease and or even cancer etc.
