Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I had trichomoniasis vaginitis and prescribed Metronidazole and Pianianjing capsules for oral use. I finished taking the oral medication, but the suppositories are still left. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After a woman contracts trichomoniasis, the pathogen can be transmitted to her husband through sexual activity, making him a carrier as well. If only the woman is treated while the man is not, even if the woman recovers, she will be reinfected by her husband. This leads to the repeated transmission of trichomoniasis between the couple, causing the woman's trichomoniasis to recur repeatedly.To treat recurring trichomoniasis, the first step is to eliminate the underlying causes that lead to repeated infections in the vagina. At the same time, the treatment duration should be shortened, and multiple different treatments should be taken concurrently.
