What is trichomoniasis? Trichomoniasis, as the name implies, is an inflammation of the vagina caused by infection with trichomonas. It can be clearly diagnosed by testing vaginal secretions first to find trichomonas. What are the manifestations of trichomoniasis in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Shandong Provincial Hospital Hongtao Lu? The typical manifestation is thin, pus-like, yellow-green, foamy, foul-smelling leucorrhea. The mucous membrane of the vagina is congested and even has bleeding spots that appear as a “strawberry”-like cervix. Itching and burning sensation of the vulva may occur due to the irritation of secretions, and some people may experience urinary tract irritation (urinary urgency, frequency and pain). How to treat trichomoniasis? Treatment is relatively simple: take oral metronidazole tablets twice a day, two at a time, and a vaginal plug every night. Most of them can be cured after a week of continuous use. Precautions:Do not drink alcohol during metronidazole treatment and within 24 hours of stopping the drug to avoid withdrawal sulfur-like reactions. Metronidazole can be secreted through breast milk, and breastfeeding should be done only after 24 hours of stopping the drug. In case of tinidazole, breastfeeding should be done after 3 days of stopping the drug. Trichomonas is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse and sexual partners need to be treated at the same time. Metronidazole is also available during pregnancy and has minimal effect on the fetus. In case of repeated infections, underwear should be boiled for 5-10 minutes to kill the pathogens.
