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: How can I quickly treat trichomoniasis vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is a type of vaginitis caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. The main symptoms in patients include an increase in thin, frothy vaginal discharge and itching of the external genitalia, which may be accompanied by a burning sensation, pain, and dyspareunia (pain during intercourse). Treatment typically involves oral metronidazole and the insertion of Tinidazole suppositories into the vagina, with a course of 7 to 10 days. Additionally, a 1% lactic acid solution can be used to rinse the external genitalia. The partner should also be treated simultaneously, and sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period. Furthermore, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid unsafe sex and cross-infection. Gynecological patients can use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while understanding professional medical care. A balanced diet should be maintained in daily life to avoid irritant foods.
