Patient's question:
Symptoms of Trichomoniasis? Is there a way to solve it, it has been troubling me for a long time and I feel uncomfortable psychologically. Seeking a solutionDoctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis. Hello! It is caused by the vaginal trichomonas, a blood-borne pathogen, spread through sexual contact or indirectly (such as through public baths, hot tubs, swimming pools, clothing, sterile gauze, and industrial-contaminated medical devices), primarily characterized by itching of the external genitalia, increased vaginal discharge, which is light yellow and foamy, and may contain blood in severe cases. It may also cause a burning sensation, pain during intercourse, and if accompanied by urethral infection, may lead to frequent urination, painful urination, or even hematuria. Treatment typically involves oral metronidazole and the insertion of Tinidazole suppositories into the vagina, with a course of 7 to 10 days. At the same time, 1% lactic acid solution can be used to rinse the external genitalia. The husband should also be treated concurrently, and sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period.
