What should a pregnant woman do if she has trichomoniasis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am now five months pregnant. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound and learned that I have trichomoniasis. I don't know if this will bother my baby. What should a pregnant woman do if she has trichomoniasis?

Doctor's answer:

Since you are pregnant, oral medication is not recommended. You can achieve the effect of treating vaginitis through sitz baths with potassium permanganate. During treatment, drink more water, urinate frequently, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods. Wear breathable underwear and change it frequently, washing it often. Additionally, avoid sexual activity during treatment. In addition to promptly treating trichomoniasis vaginitis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care.
