Patient's question:
Since having my child, I've been feeling that my gynecological infections have been increasing more and more. Additionally, due to my husband's prolonged foreskin, I've recently noticed a significant amount of discharge. Please advise: How should trichomoniasis of the external genitalia be treated?Doctor's answer:
You might have trichomoniasis, and you should go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. Trichomoniasis is a common type of vaginitis caused by the vaginal trichomonas. Clinically, it is characterized by increased vaginal discharge, yellow-green in color, thin and foamy in texture, with a foul odor, and vaginal itching. Generally, metronidazole is taken orally for treatment, which is effective, and follow-up tests should be conducted periodically. During treatment, avoid sexual activity, otherwise it is equivalent to no treatment. In addition to timely treatment, patients with gynecological conditions also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery from the disease. Thank you!
