Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said my vagina was congested. It was particularly red, and he said I had a mixed vaginal infection (previously tested for both yeast and trichomoniasis). He told me to get an anti-inflammatory shot, which costs over 600 yuan, and it's not metronidazole. I'd like to ask someone knowledgeable about what this anti-inflammatory shot is? Did the doctor deceive me? How much does it cost to treat a mixed vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is caused by the transmission of the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It is recommended that you seek medical attention at a reputable hospital for proper examination and treatment. You might have been treated at an unlicensed medical facility. Treating trichomoniasis is not difficult, or rather, it can be considered relatively simple, and the cost is not high either. Trichomonads dislike weakly alkaline environments, so we use weakly acidic solutions to combat them. Most professional solutions on the market can be used (such as "Jie'er Yin" and "Fu Yan Jie"), and the wiping method is the same as treating vaginal candidiasis. After rinsing, the vagina is soaked with metronidazole effervescent tablets. Continuous treatment for 7–10 days, or you can also take metronidazole tablets orally at a dose of 0.2g each time, three times a day.
