Patient's question:
Recently, there has been a strong odor in the lower body, and the amount of leukorrhea has increased. Sometimes the leukorrhea is like water and it is very painful. The odor in the lower body keeps reappearing, and during work hours, it feels very embarrassing. I often want to scratch the vagina. What should I pay attention to with trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
It is important to be cautious when suffering from trichomoniasis. During the treatment period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. The husband should undergo a urological examination to check for trichomonads in the urine and should be treated simultaneously. Avoid pulling or scratching the external genitalia. Use traditional Chinese medicine topical washes for the external genitalia and sitz baths to prevent the skin of the external genitalia from cracking, which could lead to secondary transmission of trichomoniasis. Wash the external genitalia daily, avoid soaking in public baths or ice skating, and do not consume seafood. Additionally, avoid foods with high temperatures to prevent the condition from worsening.
