Patient's question:
Usually, there's not much going on, but every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I feel uncomfortable in my private area. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the smell is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Could you please ask: How is trichomoniasis usually treated for the best results?Doctor's answer:
It could be a symptom of trichomoniasis. Trichomoniasis is caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Common symptoms include vaginal itching, excessive discharge, and a bad odor. It may also be accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, and hematuria. It is recommended that trichomoniasis be primarily treated with oral metronidazole, which can be purchased at a pharmacy and taken for one week. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment. Gynecological patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life while understanding standard treatment. Proper dietary habits should be maintained during daily life to avoid irritating foods.
