Patient's question:
After giving birth, I had an IUD inserted. Afterwards, I never adapted to it and kept experiencing recurrent inflammation. No matter how I treated it, it kept coming back. Later, I had the IUD removed, and the doctor told me that I had trichomoniasis vaginitis and needed to be treated immediately.Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is primarily a type of vaginitis caused by the transmission of Trichomonas vaginalis. It is also one of the common forms of vaginitis in gynecology. Strictly speaking, trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease, mainly spread through sexual contact, but it can also be transmitted through other routes, such as public bath utensils, industrial-contaminated clothing or instruments, etc. It is necessary to remind everyone that: the treatment of trichomoniasis requires both partners to be treated simultaneously, and sexual intercourse should be avoided during the treatment period. Since the viability of Trichomonas in an external environment is quite strong, personal items should be properly isolated and sterilized to prevent transmission to others or reinfection.
