Patient's question:
I recently developed a vaginal infection, and there are always white secretions in my underwear. I have to use sanitary pads every day. Sometimes I also have lower back pain. The doctor at the hospital prescribed some topical medications, but he said that douching can easily lead to trichomoniasis and that it's prone to recurrence.Doctor's answer:
How to prevent trichomoniasis?1. Advocate showering and minimize the use of tub baths to cut off the source of transmission of trichomoniasis and actively prevent the disease. Since trichomonads have strong survival ability in the external environment, and the bath temperature of around 40℃ is the most suitable temperature for their growth, frequent tub bathing is easily prone to cross-infection.
2. Avoid using public toilet seats when defecating, do not borrow others' underwear or swimsuits, and do not go to poorly disinfected swimming pools for ice skating.
