Patient's question:
A 44-year-old woman, after getting sick, found that medication had little effect and she still felt uncomfortable. Please ask: Is it necessary for the other half of a woman with trichomoniasis to be treated as well?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is caused by vaginitis and should not be scratched, as it may lead to tearing. It is recommended to have a routine vaginal discharge test to determine the type of vaginitis and treat it accordingly with vaginal medication. Treating the male partner simultaneously can help prevent recurrence. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
