Patient's question:
I have trichomoniasis and want to consult about it. I've had this condition for a long time, but medication hasn't helped. These past few days, I've been experiencing these symptoms, which haven't improved at all.Doctor's answer:
Hello, trichomoniasis is a type of vaginitis caused by the vaginal trichomonad. Its main symptoms are an increase in thin, frothy vaginal discharge and external genital itching, which may be accompanied by a burning sensation, pain, and dyspareunia. You can use 200mg of metronidazole inserted into the vagina once every night, with 10 doses constituting one course of treatment. If you first use 1% lactic acid or 0.5% acetic acid to rinse, stabilizing the vaginal environment, it will enhance the efficacy. Finally, in daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery from the disease.
