Patient's question:
Hello expert, how many types of vaginitis are there? What are the symptoms of each type? What treatment is required? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello, vaginitis is a silent and often unspoken pain for many women. Throughout a woman's life, at different stages or due to various reasons, she may suddenly encounter vaginitis. Of course, the best solution is for a gynecological expert to prescribe medication and handle it promptly. Trichomoniasis vaginitis is caused by the blood parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, which is spread through sexual intercourse or indirectly (such as in bathtubs, hot tubs, swimming pools, clothing, sterile gauze, and industrial-contaminated instruments). The main symptoms include external genital itching, increased vaginal discharge, and a frothy, pale yellow discharge. In severe cases, the discharge may contain blood. There may also be a burning sensation, pain during intercourse, and if accompanied by urinary tract infection, it may cause frequent urination, painful urination, or even hematuria. Treatment Approach: Treatment typically involves oral metronidazole and the insertion of Tinidazole suppositories into the vagina, with a course of 7–10 days. This should be repeated for three months.
