Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment for vaginitis requires adherence to a three-month menstrual cycle. Both partners should be treated, and both internal and external treatments should be applied. The specific treatment method for trichomoniasis vaginitis is as follows: During the menstrual period, take one bag of metronidazole orally, with 2 tablets each time, three times a day, for a continuous 7-day course. Both partners should take the medication. After the menstrual period ends, the female should use one effervescent metronidazole tablet vaginally each night. Before applying the medication, take a sit bath with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, and continue for 7 days. Before each sexual intercourse, apply metronidazole liquid to the penis, allowing both partners to receive treatment during insertion. The above treatment should be followed for three menstrual cycles. It is crucial to boil and sun dry underwear, long johns, bed sheets, towels, etc., to prevent reinfection.The above is a reference treatment. It is best to use specific medication under the guidance of a doctor.
