Patient's question:
I've been feeling itchy in my lower body lately, sometimes unable to resist scratching a few times. There's a lot of discharge, and it feels quite thin and foamy. The other night after having sex with my husband, I felt a burning sensation in my vagina, with some pain. Yesterday, I bought a wash and used it three times, but it didn't help at all. This morning, I went to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test and found out I have trichomoniasis.Doctor's answer:
Hello! You cannot have sexual intercourse, as this will not only affect your condition but may also transmit it to your husband. The pathogen of trichomoniasis can sometimes also enter the male urethra. After the woman has recovered, it can be retransmitted to her.Wear loose and breathable underwear daily to avoid irritating the external genital skin, which will help alleviate symptoms. Change your underwear frequently. Avoid using public toilet seats when defecating, and do not borrow someone else's underwear or swimsuits. Prefer showering over tub baths.
