Patient's question:
Female, my daughter has no sexual activity, and I am also quite attentive to her hygiene. However, recently the young girl has been experiencing vulvar itching, which has affected her studies and caused her great distress. Please ask: Can trichomoniasis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vaginitis can be treated through multiple routes—oral medication, vaginal medication, and topical application—by combining therapies to enhance efficacy. Oral medications can include metronidazole and doxycycline; vaginal medications can consist of metronidazole suppositories, azithromycin effervescent tablets, and ornidazole suppositories; and topical applications can use clindamycin cream. The treatment for vaginitis typically spans a 7-day course, with at least one full course being completed. After the next menstrual period, another 7-day course should be administered to ensure stability.
