Patient's question:
At 22 weeks pregnant, I have trichomoniasis vaginitis. The hospital conducted tests and diagnosed it. Initially, I started using medication and used Honghe Wash Solution in coordination. However, the symptoms keep recurring whenever I stop the medication. Now I have started taking metronidazole, but the symptoms still keep coming back. My discharge is yellow, excessive, and has a very strong odor. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
You are 22 weeks pregnant, and metronidazole cannot be taken orally as it can easily pass through the placental barrier and affect the fetus. For trichomoniasis vaginitis, using metronidazole vaginal suppositories for vaginal insertion and metronidazole vaginal irrigation should be very effective. You should regularly boil your underwear in hot water and expose it to sunlight. Trichomoniasis vaginitis can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to self-care training, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding irritating foods. It is hoped that patients with trichomoniasis vaginitis can receive professional treatment.
