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.What medication is used to treat trichomoniasis?
Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vaginitis can be treated through a combination of oral, vaginal, and external applications to enhance efficacy. Oral medications can include metronidazole and doxycycline; vaginal medications can be chosen from metronidazole suppositories, tinidazole effervescent tablets, and ornidazole suppositories; and external applications can be clindamycin cream. The treatment for vaginitis typically lasts for 7 days per course, followed by another course of consolidation after the next menstrual period. During treatment, it is important to wash underwear, towels, and bed sheets with hot water or expose them to sunlight for sterilization. A light diet is recommended, avoiding spicy, acidic, or other irritating foods.
