Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on. I haven't had sex with my husband recently either. I usually clean my private area and underwear, but suddenly I started experiencing itching in my private area, and my discharge is yellow and abundant. Please ask: Which method is good for treating trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Consider trichomoniasis as a common type of vaginitis, caused by the vaginal trichomonas. Symptoms include frequent urination accompanied by urgency and pain during urination, vaginal discharge, and abdominal pain. Treatment involves oral metronidazole, local use of 1% lactic acid or acetic acid solution to rinse the external genitalia and lavage the vagina, inserting carbaryl or metronidazole or griseofulvin into the vagina. During treatment, it is important to maintain local cleanliness, and underwear and items that come into contact with the external genitalia should be boiled to sterilize and prevent reinfection. To prevent re-infection, underwear and towels used for disinfection should be boiled for 5 to 10 minutes to eliminate the pathogens. Married individuals should also carefully examine the male partner for genital trichomoniasis and check for trichomonas in prostatic fluid. If positive, both partners need to be treated simultaneously.
