Patient's question:
I used to have intense itching in my vagina, and now there is a significant amount of discharge. Additionally, there is a disgusting fishy odor. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they diagnosed me with trichomoniasis. My husband just returned from a business trip these days and wants to have sex with me. Can I have sex with trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:

Sexual activity may exacerbate pain and discomfort. A pathogen test is necessary, followed by symptomatic medication. Good lifestyle habits should be maintained.Based on your description, you have trichomoniasis vaginitis. In this case, you need to undergo a course of treatment every month, for a total of three consecutive months. Avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. Additionally, both partners should be tested and treated together.
