Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! Since last weekend when I had sex with my husband, my vaginal discharge has been increasing significantly recently, and it's yellowish and foamy, with a slightly foul odor. After a thorough gynecological examination, I found out it's trichomoniasis. Hello, is it because of your reasons that it was caused? How should female trichomoniasis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is a vaginal infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, which is primarily spread through sexual contact. The parasite can be found in the prostate fluid of infected males. The treatment primarily involves the use of metronidazole suppositories and oral tinidazole tablets. Before applying topical medication, the vagina can be washed with potassium permanganate. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. It is recommended to avoid spicy and greasy foods and to drink plenty of water. For patients, if the condition of trichomoniasis is severe, timely symptomatic treatment should be administered.
