Patient's question:
In recent days, the external genital area has been particularly itchy, and there is also a significant amount of discharge. Now, every time I urinate, it causes pain. I don't know what might be causing this, and I'm now looking to ask here. How can trichomoniasis be differentiated?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is not good. Trichomoniasis is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, a parasitic disease primarily spread through masturbation, which is infectious. Common symptoms include vaginal itching and yellow-green vaginal discharge. The treatment for trichomoniasis mainly involves oral metronidazole, typically for about a week. It is effective, and sexual intercourse should be avoided. In addition, during the treatment of trichomoniasis, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. Patients must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary impacts on the recovery of trichomoniasis.
