Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have been experiencing severe itching in my lower abdomen recently, and my vaginal discharge is abnormal, with foreign substances, yellow in color, and sometimes containing blood streaks. So, I went to the hospital for specific tests, and the doctor said I have trichomoniasis. How should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vaginitis, the main pathogen is usually Trichomonas vaginalis. This pathogen is generally sensitive to metronidazole-class drugs, so the treatment of trichomoniasis vaginitis primarily involves using metronidazole-class medications. It can be administered topically while also being supplemented with oral medication to achieve therapeutic purposes. It is important to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, and sexual activity should be strictly prohibited during treatment.In addition to timely treatment, dietary habits and psychological state are also crucial during the treatment of vaginitis. It is essential not to become overly anxious or worried, as this may unnecessarily hinder the gradual recovery of the vaginitis.
