Patient's question:
I pay close attention to personal hygiene, and I often change my underwear frequently. However, recently I have been experiencing some itching in my external genital area, and my vaginal discharge is very abundant, with a strong odor. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I had a fungal vaginal infection.What kind of help is needed: What are the symptoms of trichomoniasis?
Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is a disease with several main symptoms, primarily characterized by an increase in vaginal discharge. At this time, the discharge can irritate the skin of the female external genitalia, leading to recurring itching in that area. In addition to itching, symptoms may include frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, and even hematuria. The recurrence of trichomoniasis is due to two main factors: infection with the trichomonas pathogen and changes in the vaginal environment's pH level. Therefore, treatment must address both of these aspects, and medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor at a hospital.
