Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that the discharge is thick, cloudy, and has a bad odor. After examination, it was found to be trichomoniasis. How can one know if trichomoniasis is better? What preventive measures can be taken? Ask MedicineDoctor's answer:
Most patients with bacterial vaginosis do not have obvious symptoms, and most do not exhibit inflammation such as congestion or redness in the external genitalia and vaginal mucosa. Those who do have symptoms primarily manifest as increased vaginal discharge, which is thin, homogeneous, or thin and pasty, appearing grayish-white or grayish-yellow with a fishy odor.Patients with bacterial vaginosis should follow a diet rich in light foods, avoid alcohol, smoking, and spicy foods. Consuming foods that promote diuresis and remove dampness, such as winter melon, watermelon, and red beans, can aid in recovery. It is best to use local medications under the guidance of a doctor, in addition to symptomatic treatment for trichomoniasis. Patients should also pay attention to dietary habits and maintain a positive mood.
