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. Could you please tell me how to treat trichomoniasis and what precautions I should take after being diagnosed with it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is likely that you may have a fungal vaginal infection, which is caused by Candida albicans. It is more common in young girls, pregnant women, diabetic patients, and those who have received high-dose estrogen treatment after menopause. The symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, curd-like discharge, itching and burning sensation in the vulva and vagina, painful urination, and often redness and swelling around the vulva. Treatment can involve altering the vaginal pH, such as using alkaline medications to rinse the vagina, or using a 2-4% sodium bicarbonate solution to rinse the vagina, along with oral ketoconazole. Daily hygiene should be paid attention to, and it is recommended that both partners be treated. Abstain from sexual activity during treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery!There are many treatment methods for trichomoniasis, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach may differ.
