How is trichomoniasis best treated?

Patient's question:

I had a thorough check before, and it was said to be trichomoniasis. I haven't had sexual intercourse for a long time. Previously, I took medication and it improved, but now I've stopped. However, sometimes it still itches, and the discharge has an odor. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in your case, there is still inflammation to consider. It's possible that the medication you took at the time only relieved the symptoms but didn't completely treat the condition. For your current situation, it is recommended that you visit a hospital to undergo a thorough examination of your vaginal discharge. This will help determine the specific type of vaginal infection you have, allowing for targeted medication. During the treatment period, it's important to avoid sexual activity to prevent the condition from worsening. Additionally, it's essential to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a positive mood. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
