Patient's question:
The past two years, I had trichomoniasis vaginitis, which has been cured. These days, I have had itching in the private area and went to see a doctor, who said I had candidiasis vaginitis. I want to know what the differences are between trichomoniasis vaginitis and candidiasis vaginitis? Why am I prone to vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is caused by trichomonads, while candidiasis is a fungal infection. If you have candidiasis, it is recommended to use antifungal washes and oral medications for treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sexual contact. These two types of vaginitis have different symptoms and treatments, so it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice. Additionally, avoid sexual contact to prevent infecting your partner. If you have trichomoniasis, it is advisable to seek medical attention immediately and start treatment promptly based on the doctor's recommendations.
