Introduction
Trichomonal vaginitis is a vaginal infection in women caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. It can be indirectly transmitted through public baths, bathtubs, towels, swimming pools, toilet seats, clothing, or contaminated instruments and dressings. Symptoms of trichomonal vaginitis include itching of the external genitalia, mucosal redness and swelling, and frothy yellow vaginal discharge.

Common gynecological conditions include trichomonas vaginitis, endometritis, endometriosis, endometrial polyps, and uterine fibroids. If any discomfort or symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention at a hospital and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician. Specific details are as follows:

1. Trichomonas Vaginitis

Trichomonas vaginitis is a vaginal infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. It can be indirectly transmitted through public baths, bathtubs, towels, swimming pools, toilet seats, clothing, or contaminated instruments and dressings. Symptoms of trichomonas vaginitis include external genital itching, mucosal redness and swelling, and frothy yellow vaginal discharge. Medications such as metronidazole suppositories, tinidazole suppositories, or dual-azole suppositories may be used according to medical advice to relieve symptoms.

2. Endometritis

Endometritis is an inflammatory condition of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus). It may cause congestion and edema of the endometrium, disrupting its normal repair and shedding process, leading to prolonged menstrual bleeding. It may be accompanied by lower abdominal pain and increased vaginal discharge. Treatment typically involves medications such as metronidazole tablets, levofloxacin tablets, or clindamycin hydrochloride capsules, taken as prescribed by a doctor.

3. Endometriosis

Endometriosis may be associated with factors such as retrograde menstruation, immune dysfunction, genetics, and environmental influences. In endometriosis, endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus and undergoes cyclic proliferation and shedding in response to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. However, unlike normal endometrial tissue, this displaced tissue cannot be expelled from the body through the vagina, resulting in internal bleeding and pain. Symptoms may include dysmenorrhea (painful periods) and painful intercourse. Treatment may include medications such as dienogest tablets, gestrinone capsules, or mifepristone tablets, used under medical supervision.

4. Endometrial Polyps

Endometrial polyps are benign growths caused by localized excessive proliferation of the endometrial tissue. They may lead to prolonged or irregular menstrual bleeding, including extended menstrual periods and increased menstrual flow. Under the guidance of a healthcare provider, medications such as amoxicillin capsules, cefuroxime axetil tablets, or Gongxueting granules may be used for treatment.

5. Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are associated with unhealthy lifestyle habits and poor sexual health. These benign tumors can enlarge the uterus and compress surrounding blood vessels and tissues, causing abnormal uterine bleeding. Symptoms may include constipation, anemia, and pelvic pressure. Treatment options may include herbal or pharmaceutical agents such as Duanxueliu capsules, mifepristone tablets, or Fuxuekang granules, used under the direction of a qualified physician.

It is recommended to develop healthy lifestyle habits, maintain a proper balance between work and rest, and avoid excessive fatigue to promote overall health.
