Patient's question:
These days, while washing underwear, I always find a lot of cheesy-looking discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Could you please tell me: What are the common treatments for trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis treatment primarily involves metronidazole. Using vaginal medication in conjunction with oral medication tends to be more effective. The solution prescribed by the doctor should be used with a dedicated disposable irrigation device to directly clean the vaginal cavity. While taking oral metronidazole, metronidazole suppositories can also be used for vaginal medication. During treatment, avoid sexual intercourse and refrain from spicy or irritating foods to maintain isolation. This disease can be transmitted through sexual contact or exposure to secretions. Gynecology patients can, while receiving symptomatic treatment, also use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment. In daily dietary habits, it is crucial to avoid both excessive hunger and overeating, and never indulge in binge eating.
