Patient's question:
I have always felt that my vagina is not very comfortable, often feeling itchy, especially after my menstrual period, when the condition is even more pronounced. I don't understand what's going on, but after a careful examination, it was diagnosed as trichomoniasis. What are the treatment methods for trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis currently, the common clinical diagnosis involves the use of medications such as metronidazole, ornidazole, or tinidazole for symptomatic treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited, and it is best for both partners to be treated simultaneously. In terms of diet, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods. Underwear should be changed frequently, boiled and washed, and exposed to sunlight for drying. A total of three treatment courses are required, and after each course, a follow-up test for routine vaginal discharge should be conducted. The condition is considered cured only after three consecutive negative tests.
