Patient's question:
Recently, there has been a lot of discharge, greenish-yellow watery discharge, accompanied by a fishy odor, and sometimes itching. I hope you can help me, doctor, to see what medication would be good for me and not interfere with my pregnancy. I pay close attention to hygiene, changing underwear and taking baths every day. I am very confused about this condition and hope it doesn't affect my fetus. How should I treat trichomoniasis vaginitis in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is one of the most common vaginal infections, caused by the infiltration of Trichomonas vaginalis into the vagina. Trichomoniasis can be spread sexually, so both partners should be treated. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, and underwear and foot soaking utensils should be disinfected daily. After the symptoms such as vaginal itching disappear, the medication should be applied locally 1-2 more times, and follow-up tests should be conducted for 3 months without recurrence to be considered cured. There are no specific dietary restrictions during the treatment of this disease.
