Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What medication is used to treat trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vaginitis can be treated through a combination of oral medication, vaginal medication, and external application to enhance efficacy. Oral medications can include metronidazole and doxycycline. Vaginal medications can be chosen from options such as metronidazole suppositories, tinidazole effervescent tablets, and ornidazole suppositories. External applications can involve clindamycin cream. The treatment for vaginitis typically lasts for 7 days per course, and at least one full course should be completed. After the next menstrual period, an additional course of treatment should be administered to ensure stability. During treatment, it is important to wash underwear, towels, and bed sheets with hot water or expose them to sunlight for sterilization. A light diet is recommended, avoiding spicy, acidic, or other irritating foods. Maintaining cleanliness in the external genital area and changing underwear frequently, as well as cleaning the area, are essential.
