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. How should trichomoniasis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend! Trichomoniasis is a common type of vaginitis caused by the vaginal trichomonad. Clinical diagnosis primarily involves symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, frothy texture, foul odor, and vaginal itching. The onset of the disease is due to the vaginal trichomonad consuming glycogen in the vagina, destroying the vagina's self-cleaning protective function, which then leads to secondary bacterial infections. It is recommended to use 0.5–1% lactic acid or acetic acid, or a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to rinse the vagina, or add glucose powder to the vagina, to fully restore the normal physiological protective function of the vagina, inhibit the growth and adaptation of the trichomonad, and achieve the goal of preventing the recurrence of the disease. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, and try to avoid scratching and skin irritation in the external genital area.
