Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable down there. Sometimes it's itchy, and other times it's excruciatingly painful, like it's burning. Later, I consulted a doctor, who suspected trichomoniasis and told me to get a thorough check-up at the hospital. I'm very worried. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After suffering from trichomoniasis, women may experience excruciating pain. Some may suffer from unbearable external genital itching, which greatly interferes with normal living. Additionally, trichomonads have an absorptive effect on sperm. Trichomoniasis not only disrupts sexual life but also causes female infertility. If vaginal trichomonads persist in the vagina for a long time, they will consume or absorb glycogen from vaginal epithelial cells, hinder the production of lactic acid bacteria in the vagina, destroy the vaginal environment, and may lead to abnormal cell growth and development in the vagina, resulting in early-stage inflammation of the reproductive tract.
