How to Relieve Swelling Caused by Trichomoniasis

Patient's question:

Yesterday, I had a thorough examination and it was confirmed to be trichomoniasis vaginitis, but the swelling was very severe, and both labia majora and minora were swollen and very painful. I was prescribed a vaginal suppository of Clotrimazole, which swelled up and caused very painful insertion, making it difficult to insert it to the deepest part. Urination only felt like a sensation, and even during washing, there was a sensation. I don't know if there might be any breaks.

Doctor's answer:

This is acute trichomoniasis vaginitis, which has caused vulvar edema and swelling of the labia majora and minora. It is necessary to visit the hospital for a thorough examination to determine if it is caused by bartholinitis. It is recommended that you take medication according to the prescribed course, and both partners should use medication together. During the medication period, it is best to avoid sexual activity as much as possible. If symptoms do not improve, visit the hospital for a detailed examination. Underwear should be washed separately and exposed to sunlight.
