Patient's question:
I recently contracted trichomoniasis, and every time I feel discomfort in my vagina. Additionally, there's a persistent itching in the genital area. When I scratch it, the skin breaks, and after the skin breaks, it feels a bit painful. I'm afraid to wash it with water. How can I treat trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Now, if it is confirmed that you have trichomoniasis, symptoms such as vaginal itching, pain, and abnormal discharge may recur. Treatment can be administered orally with the use of metronidazole externally. During medication, avoid sexual activity and pay attention to local hygiene. Wash and change underwear frequently, do not share foot baths with others, and wash underwear separately. It is best to dry them in the sun. After medication, follow up for retesting. For severe cases of trichomoniasis, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not use medication blindly.
