Patient's question:
Recently before my period, I always feel a strong sense of fullness in my lower abdomen, besides a burning sensation. I don't know what's wrong, but after a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have trichomoniasis. Hello, how should gynecological trichomoniasis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is a common vaginal infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Once diagnosed, it should be treated promptly. Treatment for trichomoniasis typically involves oral tablets, with a course of 7 days. While undergoing systemic treatment, insert a tablet into the vagina every night for 10 days as part of the vaginal treatment. Vaginal infections tend to recur easily, and it generally takes three courses to fully recover. Do not stop medication once symptoms slightly improve. Both partners should be treated simultaneously, and sexual activity should be avoided to prevent cross-infection.In daily life, it is important to maintain sterilization and keep the external genital area clean and dry. Wear loose, breathable underwear to prevent irritation to the vaginal skin and worsen symptoms. Change underwear frequently, and boil underwear, basins, towels, etc., to prevent recurring infections.
