Patient's question:
I have been feeling particularly unwell recently, with abnormal vaginal discharge. My friend said I might have trichomoniasis. I want to ask how much it costs to treat trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis, the main pathogen of which is Trichomonas vaginalis, is primarily transmitted through sexual contact but can also spread indirectly. The main symptoms include vulvar itching, discharge, and pale yellow frothy vaginal discharge. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by blood, a burning sensation, pain during intercourse, frequent urination, and painful urination. In some cases, it may even lead to hematuria when accompanied by urinary tract infections. The treatment cost is not particularly high, usually involving medication, which can be resolved with a few hundred yuan. It is recommended that the husband also be treated simultaneously, and sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid unsafe sex and cross-infection, and maintain good personal hygiene. A light diet is recommended, avoiding overwork, and maintaining a regular eating schedule. Drinking plenty of water is also beneficial.
