Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Where is the best place to treat trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis generally presents with symptoms such as external genital itching, accompanied by a burning sensation. The vaginal discharge is typically thick and white, resembling curd or cottage cheese. However, trichomoniasis is characterized by an increase in vaginal discharge, along with external genital itching. It may also include symptoms such as burning, pain, and dyspareunia (pain during intercourse). The discharge is typically thin and purulent, yellowish-green, foamy, and may have a foul odor. The symptoms of the two conditions share some similarities, making them sometimes difficult to distinguish. Therefore, to differentiate between trichomoniasis and candidal vulvovaginitis, it is essential to rely on routine vaginal discharge tests for accurate diagnosis. In addition to medication for treating trichomoniasis, patients should also focus on proper care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood.
