Patient's question:
I have trichomoniasis, and my vagina always itches. My discharge is also abnormal with a strange odor. I'm worried about infecting my family, and I don't know how to treat this condition. I want to know how I should recover from trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis can be treated with vaginal medication or oral medication. Indeed, both partners can be mutually infected. Most cases are transmitted through sexual activity. If family members simply avoid contact, they will not be infected by secretions. For example, when cleaning the external genitalia, the basin used for washing underwear should be used with a separate cloth and not mixed with family members. If taking a bath, showering should be adopted, so the chance of infection will be greatly reduced. For trichomoniasis, continuous medication is generally required for two weeks.
