Patient's question:
I previously had trichomoniasis. It hasn't been cured yet. Yesterday, after having sex with my boyfriend, I experienced bleeding that was pink. What could be the reason? I want to ask how to completely treat trichomoniasis.Doctor's answer:
After sexual intercourse, skin peeling leads to contact bleeding, which is generally common in cervical erosion; cervical erosion often has chronic cervical inflammation. Trichomoniasis will never cause contact bleeding, but it should also be treated actively. First, it is recommended to undergo a gynecological examination or colposcopy to confirm the diagnosis. Mild cervical erosion can be cured with medication; you can use Xiaomi (a vaginal suppository) and take some anti-cervicitis tablets. Additionally, you can take metronidazole to treat trichomoniasis. Severe cervical erosion can be treated with physical therapy, such as microwave or laser, which is very effective. Pay attention to keeping the external genitalia dry and clean, as well as maintaining hygiene during sexual intercourse. Wear pure cotton, breathable underwear, eat a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
