Patient's question:
My daughter is one year old and still breastfeeding. When I went for a check-up, they told me I have trichomoniasis. She said it's not serious and gave me two boxes of medication. I heard that inserting the medication can disrupt the pH balance inside. If it's not serious, it's probably best not to use such medication. Because the check-up was conducted by the Party and Government Office, I feel like they mainly wanted to sell medicine. I consulted at a pharmacy, and the drug costs 26 yuan, but they sold it for 38 yuan. I have some doubts about them—while it's okay if it's a bit expensive, I just hope it's not fake. I want to know if I should use this medication. Additionally, what else should I pay attention to? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
For treating vaginitis, suppositories can be used. Generally, solutions are used in conjunction with suppositories for treatment. The principle of suppositories is to change the vaginal pH to inhibit the growth of bacteria, so altering the vaginal pH is precisely the process needed for treating the disease. The human body has a strong self-healing ability, and after stopping medication, the vaginal pH naturally and completely restores.Doctor's inquiry: The daily treatment for trichomoniasis vaginitis is primarily symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to regular sleep schedules and avoid alcohol. It is hoped that trichomoniasis patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
