Patient's question:
I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing severe itching in my outer labia and vaginal opening, and the discharge also has a strong odor. Could you please tell me: How can trichomoniasis vulvitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is transmitted from the outside. For an infectious disease to spread, it must have three conditions: a source of infection, a transmission route, and susceptible individuals. For trichomonads, anyone can be infected, but those with changes in vaginal pH or low immunity are more susceptible. After contracting trichomonads, it is rare for patients to recover on their own, and even if they do, they can still be reinfected. The source of infection for trichomoniasis is carriers and objects contaminated by industrial pollution. As for transmission routes, there are two types: direct transmission (sexual transmission) and indirect transmission.
