Patient's question:
My wife has trichomoniasis vaginitis, and her lower abdomen is itchy severely. It's especially itchy every morning. She has already gone to the hospital and been prescribed oral metronidazole, vaginal suppositories, and a rinse. She has been using the medication for four days. The first two days were fine, but on the third and fourth days, it was still extremely itchy in the morning, just like before. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vaginitis is primarily characterized by itching and an increasing amount of discharge. It is a chronic condition, and complete recovery generally takes longer, approximately three months. Metronidazole is the essential medication for treating trichomoniasis vaginitis. If the treatment duration is too short, it is important to follow the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, sexual activity should be strictly avoided temporarily, and underwear should be changed frequently to maintain cleanliness in the vaginal area. Moreover, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle, have regular meals, and avoid foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
