Patient's question:
I am a married woman. The doctor has confirmed that the itching of the external genitalia is caused by inflammation, and there are growths on the inner labia. Due to its, I am afraid to use suppository medication for treatment. Can trichomoniasis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis has various types of symptoms, which can be broadly categorized into trichomoniasis vaginitis, the main symptoms of which are vaginal itching, yellow discharge with a slightly reddish hue, and a strong odor of cottage cheese-like discharge. The main symptoms of candidiasis vaginitis are external genital itching, primarily characterized by white cottage cheese-like discharge. It may also be accompanied by a burning sensation in the external genitalia, urinary urgency, dysuria, and pain during intercourse. However, topical medication for the external genitalia can be used. Additionally, it should be clarified that inflammation should not lead to the recurrence of growths. This needs to be understood clearly. If there has been sexual activity, vaginal medication can be directly used, as this is not a minor issue. If there has been no sexual activity, the underlying cause also needs to be identified to prevent such occurrences from happening again. Maintain strict hygiene, change underwear frequently, and keep the external genitalia clean and dry at all times.
