Patient's question:
My wife has trichomoniasis vaginitis, and her lower abdomen is itchy severely. It's especially itchy every morning. She has already gone to the hospital and was prescribed oral metronidazole tablets. At first, they were effective, but then the itching returned. How can trichomoniasis vaginitis be treated more effectively?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vaginitis is primarily characterized by itching and an increase in vaginal discharge. It is a chronic condition, and complete recovery is generally slower, taking about three months. Metronidazole is the first-line medication for treating trichomoniasis vaginitis. If the treatment duration is too short, it is recommended to follow the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, sexual activity should be strictly avoided temporarily, and underwear should be changed frequently to maintain cleanliness in the vaginal area.In addition to medical treatment for gynecological issues, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
