It is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis and is a common vaginal disease that is prone to occur before and after menstruation. The main symptoms are increased vaginal discharge and vulvar itching, which may be accompanied by burning, pain, and dyspareunia. If combined with urinary tract infection, frequent urination and painful urination may occur. The secretion is purulent, grayish yellow, yellowish white or yellowish green, foamy and has a foul odor. Leucorrhea is foamy and has a foul smell, which is caused by the anaerobic fermentation of carbohydrates by Trichomonas. The main treatment drug is metronidazole, which can be applied systemically or topically. Men often have no symptoms after infection and can easily become a source of infection, so sexual partners should be treated at the same time.

2. Gonorrhea

A sexually transmitted disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, with purulent infection of the urogenital system as its main manifestation, its incidence ranks first among sexually transmitted diseases in China. The main symptoms are increased vaginal discharge, which is purulent and has a foul odor. Cephalosporin antibiotics can be used for treatment, and it is emphasized that sexual partners must be treated at the same time.

Wash the vulva with clean water and change underwear every night (it is best not to use various liquid medicines to clean the vagina, so as not to damage the internal environment of the vagina and cause vaginitis).
