Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower abdomen, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Do virgins get trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Hello:I am very happy to assist you. Based on the issue you mentioned, trichomoniasis is related to factors such as unclean sexual activity, poor personal hygiene, and a weakened immune system. It can also be transmitted through public baths or bathtubs, so even virgins can contract trichomoniasis.
I recommend taking 200mg of metronidazole orally three times a day, with a 7-day course being one treatment. You can also use a 1% lactic acid rinse for the vagina or take a sit bath. Additionally, apply 200mg of metronidazole vaginally. Pay attention to local hygiene, change your underwear daily, and wash your underwear separately, exposing it to sunlight for disinfection. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
