Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable in my lower abdomen, experiencing pain at the urethral opening, abnormal discharge, sometimes with foam and a smell, along with itching and burning pain in the outer genital area. I usually maintain good personal hygiene, but I don't know what could be causing this. I want to ask what might be happening and whether I need to go to the hospital.Doctor's answer:
The treatment for trichomoniasis can involve washing the vagina and external genitalia locally: a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution can be used for cleaning, while for infected individuals, a 1:2000 solution can be applied. After cleaning the vagina and external genitalia each night, insert the solution into the vagina for a course of 7 to 10 days. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and close family members should also be treated. Wishing you good health. Trichomoniasis can cause significant disruption to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues, focusing on light and simple foods. It is hoped that patients with trichomoniasis can receive professional treatment.
