Just had a gynecological examination and was told I have trichomoniasis. How is it treated?

Patient's question:

After losing virginity, there is itching outside the vulva, and many translucent, long, round bumps around the vaginal opening. There are also many small bumps on the labia majora. What is going on?

Doctor's answer:

Women without sexual activity may experience localized itching due to external genital irritation, accompanied by acne on the labia. This can lead to gynecological infections, commonly including vulvitis and vaginitis, often caused by poor personal hygiene. First, it is essential to improve personal hygiene. Next, visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test and urinalysis to assess the severity of the inflammation. Treatment may include vulvar washing, medication insertion into the vagina, and oral anti-inflammatory drugs. Drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently can help expel the inflammation.
The daily treatment for vulvar itching primarily involves symptomatic relief. Patients can take various oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, while maintaining a regular sleep schedule and avoiding alcohol.
