How should vaginal infections be treated with medication?

Patient's question:

I haven't had my period. I've taken a pregnancy test once with a test strip and once with a pregnancy test stick, and both were negative. My boyfriend said it hurts a bit when we have sex, and he thinks it's because my vagina is too tight. Could it be an infection he's getting? He has a little bit of excessive foreskin, but it's just a little. What kind of help I need: If it's a vaginal infection, how should I use medication?

Doctor's answer:

From the situation you described, the discharge that appears light green may indicate a vaginal infection, and it is more likely to be trichomoniasis. If it is confirmed to be trichomoniasis, it can be treated with local vaginal medication. Generally, metronidazole is used. First, dissolve the solution with a wash liquid and rinse the vagina and external genitalia, then insert the medication deep into the vagina. Change underwear frequently and maintain dryness and hygiene of the external genitalia. This will not infect your partner, but he also needs to be rinsed regularly.
