Patient's question:
Routine examination of leukorrhea: Cleanliness III, Trichomonas vaginalis found, WBC:++, 5-7HP, Conclusion: Trichomoniasis vaginitis. However, I read online that this condition causes intense vaginal itching, but I don't feel any itching at all. It's just that my vagina is very red and painful! The leukorrhea is yellow, a bit thin, but also sticky. The vagina is easily torn and bleeds with slight contact. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Metronidazole is an effective and thorough medication for eliminating trichomoniasis. It is well-absorbed when taken orally, has a high therapeutic effect, low toxicity, and is easy to use, suitable for both men and women. It is recommended to take 200mg of Metronidazole three times a day for a total of 7 days; at the same time, use 200mg of Metronidazole each night as a vaginal Gaoling decoction. In addition to treating trichomoniasis vaginitis symptomatically, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. Meanwhile, patients should also be mindful of choosing a regular hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
