Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What are the common treatments for trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms include vulvar itching, increased vaginal discharge, and the discharge turning into a light yellow frothy consistency. In severe cases, the discharge may contain blood or be accompanied by a burning sensation and pain during intercourse. If accompanied by urethritis, symptoms may include frequent urination, painful urination, or hematuria. Sensitive antibiotics can be taken orally, and metronidazole suppositories can be placed in the vagina, with a course of 7 to 10 days. At the same time, the vulva can be washed with 1% lactic acid solution for three consecutive months. The patient's husband should also undergo treatment simultaneously, and sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period. Additionally, the patient should pay attention to personal hygiene, prevent unsafe sex, and avoid cross-infection. There are many treatment methods for trichomoniasis vaginitis, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods will also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
