Patient's question:
In 2008, vaginal and external genital itching began to appear, sometimes intensely unbearable. I have been treated at local hospitals several times, using topical medications and external washes. However, the condition has never been fully cured, with symptoms fluctuating in severity. It has been very frustrating, making it difficult for me to focus on work and severely impacting my daily life.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Trichomoniasis is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. Treatment includes: systemic medication, metronidazole 400mg per dose, 2-3 times daily, oral, with a 7-day course; local medication, combined use is often more effective, metronidazole tablets 200mg, inserted into the vagina once nightly, with a 10-day course. Before medication, the vagina can be flushed with 1% lactic acid solution or 0.1%-0.5% acetic acid solution. Pay attention to personal hygiene, take medication on schedule, and have regular follow-up examinations.
