Patient's question:
My second cousin has been experiencing pain in her private area recently, especially in public places, making it extremely itchy. She is usually very faithful and has no abnormal relationships with others. She checked and it might be trichomoniasis. Hello, what are the treatments for trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is a common gynecological disease, with its main symptoms being an increase in vaginal discharge and significant itching of the external genitalia. In terms of treatment, local medication is relatively effective. It is recommended to use a three-herb clearing heat, reducing swelling, and relieving pain wash to clean the external genitalia and vagina, followed by placing a metronidazole suppository into the vagina. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and a light diet should be maintained. Trichomoniasis has a certain level of transmissibility, so underwear is best boiled and then exposed to sunlight for drying.
