Patient's question:
I felt uncomfortable downstairs last week and it was very itchy, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I had trichomoniasis. He prescribed medicine and a wash solution for me. It's a bit better now, but I don't know if it will come back again! I'm very worried about it flaring up again in the future, that would be so painful! Can trichomoniasis be cured on its own?Doctor's answer:
Self-healing, trichomoniasis is a common gynecological disease caused by the vaginal trichomonad. The vaginal trichomonad is a flagellate, and during pregnancy and before menstruation, when the vaginal pH value decreases, the infection and incidence rates of the vaginal trichomonad can increase. The optimal pH value for the life environment of the vaginal trichomonad is 5.5, 6. When the pH value is below 4.5 or above 7.5, its adaptation can be completely inhibited. It can be transmitted directly from male carriers to females during sexual intercourse, indirectly through swimming pools or ice skating rinks, and can also be indirectly transmitted through medical instruments.
