Dr. Li Mingchuan
In addition to medication, patients with trichomoniasis of the glans should also pay attention to the following points: 1. Maintain genital hygiene: Wash the genital area daily, especially after sexual intercourse, to prevent the spread of trichomonads. 2. Avoid wearing damp clothing: Damp clothes may promote the growth of pathogens, so it is advisable to avoid wearing them. 3. Wear appropriate clothing: Wearing well-fitting clothes can reduce skin contact with damp fabrics, thereby lowering the risk of trichomoniasis. 4. Avoid sharing towels and bed sheets: Shared towels and bed sheets may transmit the infection; therefore, their use should be avoided whenever possible. 5. Avoid sexual activity: It is best to abstain from sexual intercourse or use condoms to prevent the transmission of trichomonads.
