Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I had a routine vaginal discharge test at the hospital: Trichomonas was detected. In the past few days, I've noticed an increase in vaginal discharge. Since the hospital prescribed a code for the medication, I bought the medicine and took it home. Could you please provide me with good advice and help from an expert?Medical history: Last year, I was diagnosed with candidal vaginitis during a vaginal discharge test.
Doctor's answer:
Skin and mucous membrane inflammation in the external genital area is called vulvitis. Due to frequent exposure to urine and feces, vaginal secretions, and friction between the thighs, the external genital area is prone to inflammation. Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan that causes trichomoniasis. It is pear-shaped, reproduces through direct cell division, and varies greatly in size, ranging from 8 to 45 micrometers. It has four flagella at the top, which can move.
