Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that the leukorrhea is thick, cloudy, and has an odor. After examination, it was found to be trichomoniasis. How can trichomoniasis be treated?Doctor's answer:
You can use Jie Er Yin or Fu Yan Jie to rinse the vagina, and then immerse it in metronidazole effervescent tablets. The treatment should be continued for 7 to 10 days, or you can also take metronidazole tablets orally, 0.2g each time, three times a day. Prevention: Underwear and pants must be strictly prohibited from being washed with shoe soles and socks at the same time. It is best to use a separate laundry container for underwear. After washing, it is best to expose the underwear and pants to the sun. Spouses should be treated simultaneously to avoid repeated mutual infection during sexual activity, which may lead to lingering illness. During the treatment period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Additionally, it is best to avoid using sanitary pads, as they can create a consistently moist environment for the external genital area, which may exacerbate the condition.
