Patient's question:
My relative is a very filial child. Due to poor family conditions when he was young, and his parents getting divorced early on because of emotional issues, I grew up together with his mother from a very young age. Now, his mother has developed a gynecological disease, and I am very worried.Doctor's answer:
This vaginitis is caused by the blood pathogen—Trichomonas vaginalis—and is transmitted through sexual contact or indirectly (such as in foot baths, ice skating, or contact with industrial-contaminated clothing, sterile gauze, and instruments). The main symptoms include external genital itching, increased vaginal discharge, and the discharge turning into a light yellow frothy consistency. In severe cases, the discharge may contain blood or accompanied by a burning sensation and pain during intercourse. When accompanied by urethritis, symptoms may include frequent urination, painful urination, or hematuria. The daily treatment for gynecological conditions primarily involves medication. Patients can take oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
