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 like my private area is always damp and itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Could you please tell me: How much does it cost to treat trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis occurs when the infectious vaginal trichomonads consume glycogen in the vagina, destroying its self-cleaning protective function, which then leads to secondary bacterial infections. Since trichomoniasis is highly prone to cross-infection and recurrence, treatment must adhere to the combination of internal and external medications, involving both partners, and maintaining good personal hygiene. If trichomoniasis is not thoroughly and effectively resolved, it may recur. Therefore, treatment must be comprehensive. Due to the possibility of recurrence after treatment, it is crucial to pay close attention during the treatment process. Since trichomoniasis often recurs after menstruation, even after a post-treatment check shows negative trichomonads, it is still necessary to re-examine vaginal discharge after each menstrual period.
