Patient's question:
For the past year, I've noticed that my leukorrhea is a bit yellow and very viscous. Recently, for the past week, the vulva has been itchy, and every night I use a cleaning solution, but it still doesn't help—the itching is still severe. I went to the hospital for a leukorrhea test, and the result was trichomoniasis. Can trichomoniasis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection. If you visit public swimming pools or communal baths, there is a possibility of indirect transmission. Generally, it can be treated with metronidazole suppositories under the guidance of a doctor, which is a relatively effective medication. Vaginitis can be cured, but if hygiene is poor or you come into contact with the source of infection, it may lead to a recurrence. Trichomoniasis is a condition that is difficult to fully recover from. It is essential to maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as this can boost confidence in combating the infection and increase the likelihood of recovery.
