Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower abdomen, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What does trichomoniasis look like?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis, primarily caused by the transmission of Trichomonas vaginalis, is characterized by yellow-green vaginal discharge and itching of the vagina and external genitalia. It is mainly brought on by poor sexual hygiene or personal cleanliness. For treatment, one can first clean the area with warm water or a metronidazole lotion. If sexual activity occurs, a metronidazole suppository should be used after cleaning, and underwear should be changed frequently to maintain hygiene, which helps in complete recovery.
