Patient's question:
I had a thorough check-up at the hospital before, and it was found that I had trichomoniasis vaginitis. The doctor prescribed medication for some treatments and also gave me anti-inflammatory injections, but they didn't completely cure it. Now that I'm on my period, my vagina is itchy, and I wonder if the vaginitis has flared up again. Can trichomoniasis vaginitis be treated during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
The use of medication for trichomoniasis is not recommended during the menstrual period, as it is best to take it orally. It is advised to pay attention to the timing and not to feel stressed. It is recommended to rinse the external genitalia with soda water near the menstrual period. However, trichomoniasis generally does not cause itching, so it is suggested to have a routine vaginal discharge examination after the period. Additionally, it is important to ensure that underwear is exposed to sunlight.
