Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 38 years old this year. A while ago, I had a thorough examination in the hospital and found that I had vaginitis. Now I live with my family, sharing some things, so I wanted to ask you, doctor, can trichomoniasis vaginitis infect family members?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify your question. Trichomoniasis will not be transmitted to family members. It refers to the changes in the normal flora of the vaginal environment, as the trichomonas itself is also a normal flora that parasitizes in the human body. When the body's resistance increases and the vaginal acid-base environment changes, it may recur. Therefore, you can take metronidazole tablets orally, apply metronidazole vaginally, use metronidazole effervescent tablets or metronidazole suppositories. The daily treatment for patients with trichomoniasis who may transmit to family members mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment.
