Patient's question:
My wife has only had her baby for seven days. During delivery, it was a difficult birth, and she had been suffering from vaginal infections before. She always had a very itchy sensation, and when she went to the hospital, they said it was trichomoniasis. She really wants to take care of the baby, but we are worried about infection. Can someone tell me if it's safe for a mother with trichomoniasis to care for a newborn baby?Doctor's answer:
Don't, in this case, consider that you may have contracted vaginitis. It is recommended that you undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination to confirm which type of vaginitis it is and then treat it accordingly. Never, under any circumstances, take medication blindly. Vaginitis includes types such as fungal, trichomoniasis, and mixed bacterial vaginitis, and treatment should be symptomatic after diagnosis for better results. Currently, you can use baking soda or Jie'eryin to wash the external genitalia and vagina, while also changing underwear daily and washing it together with towels and basins. In summary, do not take it lightly. Actively undergo examination and symptomatic treatment. The treatment methods for trichomoniasis vaginitis vary, but since each patient's condition is different, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as they notice symptoms.
