How is trichomoniasis treated?

Patient's question:

32 years old, have been pregnant with two children, suffering from vaginitis for over a year. The vaginal discharge is yellow-green, with a foul odor, and the external genitalia are itchy and unbearable. At that time, the doctor diagnosed it as trichomoniasis vaginitis and gave me many medications. I also endured taking the medication, and it has been a year since then. Now, occasionally there is still itching, especially in recent days, there has been a recurrence of dysuria and urinary urgency. I feel very uneasy, so I quickly asked the doctor, how can I treat this condition to get better?

Doctor's answer:

Trichomoniasis is a common gynecological inflammation, primarily treated with metronidazole. Both partners should be treated simultaneously. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided, and underwear and close-fitting clothing should be boiled. Re-examine and retest vaginal discharge, check for a urinalysis, to determine whether it is vaginal inflammation or a urinary tract infection and the specific type of infection. Based on the examination results, the treatment plan should be selected. Do not take medication casually. You can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
