Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have trichomoniasis. Before this disease was carefully diagnosed, I haven't had sexual intercourse with my husband for a month. Will he get infected? But we are in the same bed, will he have a possibility of transmission?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is a common gynecological disease, and both partners can be mutually infected. Trichomoniasis is often characterized by itching, abnormal odor, and unusual vaginal discharge. Trichomoniasis has a latent period. Therefore, it cannot be confirmed how your husband might have been infected. It is recommended that you both go to the hospital for examination. After diagnosis, treatment should be administered based on the specific condition. The treatment primarily involves local topical medications, supplemented with oral medications. During the treatment period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited to prevent mutual infection. The harm caused by trichomoniasis to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, dietary issues should be given more attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that patients with trichomoniasis can receive professional treatment.
