Patient's question:
In the past few months, I've been feeling weak all over, with lower back pain, a heavy feeling in the lower abdomen, and accompanied by itching, some white discharge that is very thick and has a bad odor. I clean myself every night, but it doesn't help much. My menstrual cycle is also irregular. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the diagnosis was trichomoniasis.What kind of help I need: How much does it cost to treat trichomoniasis?
Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis vaginitis can be treated with oral metronidazole, or with metronidazole suppositories or ornidazole tablets vaginally. These medications are not very expensive; a few hundred dollars should be sufficient. No imaging tests or blood draws are required.1. Treatment for vaginitis is typically 7 days per course. At least one full course should be completed. After the next menstrual period, an additional course should be taken to ensure stability.
2. During treatment, pay attention to washing underwear, towels, and bedding with hot water or exposing them to sunlight for sterilization. The diet should be light and avoid spicy, acidic, or other irritating foods.
3. Maintain cleanliness in the external genital area at all times, change underwear frequently, and keep the area clean.
