Patient's question:
Please help the doctor answer this question. I am a woman, unmarried, and have itching in my private area. The hospital examination said it was trichomoniasis vaginitis. Please ask which methods are commonly used to treat trichomoniasis vaginitis.Doctor's answer:
(1) Advocate showering instead of bathtubs as much as possible: Since trichomonads have strong survival abilities in external environments, and the temperature of a bathtub around 40℃ is the most favorable for their growth, cross-infection is easily possible. Bathtubs at home should also be thoroughly cleaned after use. Avoid using public toilets with sit-down toilets when defecating. Do not borrow others' underwear or swimsuits. Do not go to poorly sterilized swimming pools for ice skating.(2) When immediate family members suffer from genital trichomoniasis, sexual activity should be increased or ideally avoided. Use condoms during sexual activity.
(3) Use separate basins for washing personal underwear.
