Patient's question:
A 42-year-old woman doesn't know what's going on. She hasn't had sexual intercourse with her husband recently. She usually cleans her private parts and underwear, but suddenly she started experiencing itching in her private area and had yellow and excessive vaginal discharge. Please ask: Can trichomoniasis be cured?Doctor's answer:
You may have accidentally touched the hygiene products of a trichomoniasis patient and got infected. The symptomatic medication for trichomoniasis is metronidazole. You can use metronidazole suppositories for treatment while taking metronidazole orally. During the treatment period, it is essential to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, and sexual activity between partners is strictly prohibited. Additionally, the patient needs to follow a disciplined diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
