Patient's question:
My situation is as follows: I have already had two children for more than two months, but now I have developed trichomoniasis. My vagina is extremely painful and itchy. I am also hesitant to use medication indiscriminately, and I worry about transmitting this bacterium to my newborn baby. Therefore, I would like to consult whether it is possible to take care of a newborn baby with trichomoniasis.Doctor's answer:
In your situation, you can take care of the child, so there's no need to worry, it's fine. Be more careful in the future. Buy potassium permanganate from a pharmacy and use a 1/500 concentration to wash. If you have vaginal inflammation, you should also avoid wearing tight, non-breathable pants. If there is a strong odor from the private area, use medication pads that treat vaginal inflammation, but change them frequently. Never share towels with others in any setting. Wash and sun-dry your towels and underwear frequently by hand. For patients with trichomoniasis, daily treatment mainly involves medication. Patients can take oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and maintain a regular schedule, avoiding alcohol.
