Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that the discharge is thick, cloudy, and has an odor. After examination, it was found to be trichomoniasis. How should trichomoniasis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, it is considered that you may have contracted vaginitis. It is recommended that you undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination to confirm which type of vaginitis it is before starting symptomatic treatment. Please do not take medication blindly. Vaginitis includes types such as candidal, trichomonal, and mixed bacterial vaginitis, and the treatment should be symptomatic after diagnosis for better results. Currently, you can use baking soda and Jie Er Yin to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, while changing underwear daily and washing it together with towels and basins. There are many treatment methods for trichomonal vaginitis, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed as soon as possible to start symptomatic treatment.
