How is trichomoniasis vaginitis treated best?

Patient's question:

Usually it's fine, I didn't notice anything unusual. Who knew this issue would be found? Now I want to ask, how are patients with trichomoniasis usually infected? I don't have any bad habits.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, clinical diagnosis of vaginitis is primarily characterized by changes in the nature of vaginal discharge and external genital itching, burning, and pain. Pain during masturbation is also common. When the infection affects the urethra, symptoms such as dysuria and urinary urgency may occur. Trichomonas can be spread through sexual activity or indirect contact. Swimming pools, hot tubs, and especially bathtubs provide environments for the spread of trichomoniasis. It is also possible for a mother with trichomoniasis to transmit the infection to a newborn. If you contract this disease, it is recommended that both partners be treated. During sexual activity, Trichomonas vaginalis from the female's vagina may enter the male urethra. The male typically shows no symptoms but becomes a carrier of the "trichomoniasis." Even after the female recovers, the trichomoniasis can be reactivated through sexual activity.
