Patient's question:
How is trichomoniasis caused. My wife suddenly got trichomoniasis, and I want to know how it happened. I am very hygienic and take a bath every day.Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis has two transmission routes:1. Sexual transmission: If a woman does not pay attention to hygiene during sexual activity or a man is not careful and sucks up the trichomonas, it is very easy to contract trichomoniasis.
2. Contact transmission: If you touch infected items such as towels, toilet seats, bathtubs, swimming pools, or transmit through unsterilized medical instruments.
It is recommended that you and your wife undergo treatment simultaneously, taking oral medications to eliminate the trichomonas. Early treatment is crucial. During treatment, avoid sexual activity or use condoms.
Underwear, towels, and other items should be boiled to sterilize them or soaked in disinfectant to eliminate the pathogens and prevent reinfection.
Alcohol should be avoided while taking medication. Pay attention to the hygiene and sterilization of public facilities. Women should pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain clean external genitalia.
