Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that the leukorrhea is thick, cloudy, and has an odor. After examination, it was found to be trichomoniasis. What are the causes of trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the cause of trichomoniasis is due to the transmission of Trichomonas vaginalis, which consumes glycogen in the vagina and destroys its self-cleaning defense mechanism, leading to secondary bacterial infection. If a woman finds that she has increased vaginal discharge again, which is thin and foamy in texture and has an odor, it is likely that she has trichomoniasis, and she should seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination and diagnosis. Trichomoniasis is an easily contracted inflammation, and it is important to receive proper treatment if infected. After treatment, personal hygiene should be paid attention to, spicy foods should be eaten less, and regular follow-up examinations should be scheduled.
