Trichomonal vaginitis, generally referring to trichomonas vaginal infection, may result from poor menstrual hygiene, excessive sexual activity, or long-term misuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics, leading to changes in the vaginal microenvironment and subsequent infection by Trichomonas vaginalis. The primary treatment for this condition is medication. According to medical advice, using intravaginal suppositories such as tinidazole or metronidazole can effectively kill the trichomonads and control the disease progression.
