Patient's question:
Does trichomoniasis manifest as an increase in white discharge?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vaginitis discharge is not only continuously increasing but also thin, purulent, yellow-green, foamy, and foul-smelling. The discharge appears purulent because it contains white blood cells that split other infectious components. The foamy and foul smell is due to the anaerobic fermentation of carbohydrates by Trichomonas vaginalis, producing a foul odor. The itchy areas are primarily the vaginal opening and external genitalia. Pay attention to daily cleaning, changing underwear frequently. Underwear and towels should be boiled after use. Bathtubs can be scrubbed with a 1% lactic acid solution.
