Patient's question:
I don't know what the reason is, but recently I've noticed that my discharge has significantly increased, and sometimes the leukorrhea is grayish-yellow, while at other times it's yellowish-green, purulent, foamy, and has a disgusting odor. Occasionally, I also experience symptoms of frequent urination and dysuria. I searched online for my symptoms and suspect I might have vaginitis. What type of vaginitis do I have?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered to be trichomoniasis. The discharge of trichomoniasis is grayish-yellow, yellowish-thin liquid or yellowish-green purulent secretion, foamy in appearance, and has a foul odor, accompanied by frequent urination and dysuria. The treatment for trichomoniasis can be oral metronidazole and vaginal insertion, with continuous medication for 7 days. To prevent re-infection, underwear and towels used for disinfection should be boiled for 5 to 10 minutes to eliminate the pathogens. The doctor advises that there may be a possibility of recurrence after treatment for vaginitis, so the patient needs follow-up. It can only be considered cured after three consecutive negative tests. In addition to treating vaginitis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
