Patient's question:
My wife has trichomoniasis vaginitis, and her vagina is itchy severely. It's especially itchy every morning. She has already gone to the hospital and been prescribed oral metronidazole tablets, vaginal suppositories, and a rinse. She has been using the medication for four days. The first two days were okay, but in the third and fourth days, it was still extremely itchy in the morning, just like before.Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vaginitis is primarily characterized by itching and an increase in vaginal discharge, and it is considered a chronic condition. Complete recovery generally takes a longer time, approximately three months. Metronidazole is the essential medication for treating trichomoniasis vaginitis. If the treatment duration is too short, it is recommended to follow the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, sexual activity should be strictly prohibited temporarily, and underwear should be changed frequently to maintain cleanliness in the vaginal area.Furthermore, during the treatment of trichomoniasis vaginitis, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. It is essential for the patient to maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from trichomoniasis vaginitis.
