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 cold drafts. Could you please tell me what precautions should be taken for trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is caused by the blood-pathogen vaginal trichomonas, primarily characterized by external genital itching, increased vaginal discharge, which is pale yellow and foamy, and may contain blood in severe cases. It also includes a burning sensation, painful masturbation, and if accompanied by urethral infection, it may lead to frequent urination, painful urination, or even hematuria. Treatment typically involves oral metronidazole and the insertion of Tinidazole suppositories into the vagina, with a course of 7 to 10 days. The husband should also be treated simultaneously, and sexual activity should be avoided during treatment. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, prevent dirty masturbation, and avoid cross-infection.
