Patient's question:
I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in my external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Could you please advise: How can I best treat trichomoniasis of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vulvitis is not advisable to consume too much garlic. For those with vulvar itching, a light diet is recommended, and it is beneficial to eat nutrient-rich foods such as chicken, milk, tofu, legumes, and more. Fresh vegetables and fruits should also be consumed in abundance. Avoid spicy foods like chili peppers and hot foods such as mutton, dog meat, and longans, as they can exacerbate symptoms. Garlic should also be consumed in moderation, as these foods can intensify inflammation and worsen symptoms. Avoid seafood like shrimp, crabs, and shellfish, as they can worsen itching. Avoid overly sweet and greasy foods. In addition to active treatment, gynecological patients should maintain a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you!
