Patient's question:
Trichomoniasis Vaginitis: How to Treat It and What Solutions Are Available? It's been causing me a lot of distress for a long time, and I'm feeling really uncomfortable. I'm looking for a solution. How to treat trichomoniasis vaginitis.Doctor's answer:
Caused by the blood parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, it is transmitted through sexual contact or indirectly (through hot tubs, bathtubs, swimming pools, clothing, sterile gauze, and industrial-contaminated medical devices, etc.), primarily characterized by vulvar itching, increased vaginal discharge, and a thin yellow frothy discharge. In severe cases, the discharge may contain blood. It may also cause a burning sensation, pain during intercourse, and if accompanied by urethritis, symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, or even hematuria may occur. Treatment typically involves oral metronidazole and the insertion of Tinidazole suppositories into the vagina, with a course of 7 to 10 days. Additionally, 1% lactic acid solution can be used to rinse the vulva. The husband should also be treated concurrently, and sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
