Is Vaginitis Treated Effectively with Moxibustion?

Patient's question:

This month, I noticed that my leukorrhea has increased, it's quite thick, and sometimes it's yellow, with a strange odor. Moreover, I often feel a severe itch in my external genitalia, which is hard to resist, making me feel very embarrassed. Sigh, there's also some pain when I urinate. The worst part is that it hurts during AA.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, this symptom is indicative of trichomoniasis vaginitis, and the treatment of vaginitis with moxibustion that you mentioned has not yet been reported in clinical diagnosis and treatment effects. My suggestion is to first use medication—metronidazole vaginal suppositories for symptomatic relief, followed by a seven-day course to prevent recurrence. If you are unmarried, it is best for both partners to be treated simultaneously—the male should take metronidazole tablets. Underwear must be washed separately to prevent cross-infection, and it is recommended to soak them in Dettol.
Additionally; the discoloration of urine when taking tablets is a normal phenomenon and not blood in the urine—please do not worry. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to the opposite effect.
