Patient's question:
I used metronidazole effervescent tablets and it hurts a lot around the vaginal opening. What should I do? What kind of help do you need: Should I change the medication?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is an infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, primarily spread through sexual contact. It can lead to vaginal itching and yellow-green frothy discharge, and in severe cases, it may cause infertility. It is recommended to take metronidazole orally, three times a day, with each dose being 0.2g, for a total course of 7 days. Both partners should be treated simultaneously. The female partner may also use tinidazole vaginal suppositories as additional treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided to prevent cross-infection. The recurrence of vaginal inflammation poses a serious threat to women's health, and patients should maintain clean external genital hygiene and avoid sexual activity in daily life. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
