Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing extremely severe vaginal itching, making it difficult to sit or stand. After a specific examination at the hospital, they diagnosed me with trichomoniasis. I've never had this before, but after inserting medication, the symptoms haven't improved at all—vaginal itching persists, which is very painful. How can I immediately treat this urgent issue?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is one of the most common gynecological inflammatory diseases, caused by the transmission of Trichomonas vaginalis. This pathogenic microorganism can be transmitted between sexual partners through sexual contact. If a person has trichomoniasis, sexual activity should be strictly prohibited during treatment, and sexual partners should also be examined and treated simultaneously. The treatment of trichomoniasis is primarily based on nitroimidazole antimicrobial drugs. Unmarried women can use vaginal medication insertion, while married women are recommended to take oral medication.
