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 can I prevent the infection of trichomoniasis at work?Doctor's answer:
Hello, because the infection of trichomoniasis is caused by sexual activity and indirect infection, it is essential to pay attention to several points to prevent infection.1. Less than 20% of male trichomoniasis patients show symptoms, while the rest are asymptomatic carriers. If only the wife is treated while the husband is not, and if there is no protection during sexual activity, the wife may still be reinfected by her husband even if she recovers.
2. After contracting the disease, it is crucial to strictly avoid sexual activity. If close relatives suffer from trichomoniasis, sexual activity should be increased or even avoided altogether. If sexual activity is necessary, it is important to use condoms.
