Patient's question:
My girlfriend got trichomoniasis, and she went to the hospital herself. The doctor told her not to have sex with me. I don't really think so, I thought washing up would be fine, but my girlfriend said it's not okay anymore, it can be transmitted to you! So I'm asking, does trichomoniasis transmit to the penis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is a common disease among women. The vaginal trichomonas, which lives in the vagina of women, affects the vaginal mucosa and causes inflammation. This type of trichomonas can also enter the urethra of men or explore into the prostate, leading to inflammation. After men are infected, it may cause redness, swelling, pain, and even pus formation on the glans and foreskin. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with vaginitis also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and ensuring good nutritional absorption in their daily lives.
