Patient's question:
Doctor, I just gave birth to my baby naturally, and now my baby has just turned one month old. Recently, I've noticed pain when urinating and sometimes itching. After doing some research, I suspect I might have trichomoniasis. In a few days, I plan to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and diagnosis. I'd like to understand in advance what the dangers of trichomoniasis are and how it should be treated.Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of the first type of vaginitis are greenish discharge, a bad odor, and external genital itching. If not treated promptly, it can lead to downward transmission and cause various adnexal inflammation. The treatment for trichomoniasis vaginitis involves washing the external genitalia with warm water and then inserting metronidazole tablets into the vagina. The medication should be used for three courses, with each course lasting seven days. During treatment, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, and change underwear daily.
