Patient's question:
I had a medication-induced abortion, and afterward, there has always been some watery discharge. Worried about potential inflammation, I went to a small clinic for a check-up. The doctor suggested it might be trichomoniasis, and recommended me to go to a pet hospital every day for medication treatment.Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vaginal discharge is thin and purulent, yellow in color, foamy, or like rice water, grayish-white in color, with a foul odor. Trichomoniasis vulvitis often follows trichomoniasis vaginalis. The vaginal trichomonas in women primarily feeds on the vagina, urethra, Bartholin's glands, and bladder. Infections of Bartholin's glands are rare. Certain bacteria can cause active external trichomoniasis with symptoms, but antibodies in the body can directly or indirectly spread the infection, mainly through indirect transmission routes such as public baths, bath utensils, swimming pools, or inadequately sterilized medical instruments. It has a fishy odor, sometimes mixed with a little blood or purulent, and the discharge irritates the vulva, causing itching. The vulva becomes red. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated appropriately, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovery are very high.
