Patient's question:
I have trichomoniasis and am currently undergoing treatment. I need to wash my external genitalia with my hands every day. I have a baby at home, and I am very worried about indirect transmission to him because I have to wash the baby's buttocks every day.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your condition, it is not ruled out that you may have symptoms of vaginitis. It is recommended that you actively go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. Vaginitis includes types such as candidal, trichomonal, and mixed bacterial vaginitis. It is best to confirm the diagnosis before treating it symptomatically for better results. During treatment, avoid sexual activity and refrain from spicy foods. Change your underwear daily and wash it together with towels and basins. Trichomonal vaginitis not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a vaginal discharge test, identify the cause, and then treat it symptomatically. In daily life, you should drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
