Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed a strong and unpleasant odor coming from my lower body, and it's also very itchy. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that I have trichomoniasis. I'd like to ask what are the causes of trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is generally caused by sexual cross-infection. If you visit public baths or use public toilets, indirect infection may also occur. Diagnosis of trichomoniasis requires prompt treatment. Having a sexually transmitted disease can usually be treated with metronidazole suppositories under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, sexual intercourse must be strictly prohibited to avoid the possibility of cross-infection.
