Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. Additionally, I've been experiencing discomfort in my private area, with symptoms like itching and burning, especially in the afternoon. It's been really unbearable. I'd like to ask: What is the best way to treat trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Hello Trichomonas vaginalis is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan,, about 2-3 times the size of multinucleated leukocytes. Trichomonas vaginalis thrives in an environment with a pH of 5.5-6, and its growth is inhibited when the pH is below 5 or above 7.5. Trichomonas vaginalis has the characteristics of blood preference and alkaline resistance, so when menstruation occurs, the vaginal pH decreases, which helps the adaptation of Trichomonas vaginalis. It can dissolve lactic acid iron in vaginal epithelial cells, making it easier for inflammation to recur. It is recommended to use systemic medication. Metronidazole, a single dose for 7 days. Oral absorption is good, high efficacy, low toxicity, convenient use, and both the husband or sexual partner need to be treated simultaneously. For patients, if the gynecological and obstetric condition is serious, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of gynecological and obstetric diseases.
