Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a strong, unpleasant odor coming from my lower body, and it's also very itchy. After going to the hospital for a specific examination, I found out that I have trichomoniasis. I'd like to ask what are the causes of trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is generally caused by sexual transmission. If you visit public baths or use public toilets, indirect infection may also occur. Diagnosis of trichomoniasis requires prompt treatment, as it is classified as a sexually transmitted disease. Generally, metronidazole suppositories can be used under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, sexual intercourse must be strictly prohibited to avoid the possibility of cross-infection.
