Inflammation of the Genital Areas
As trichomoniasis runs rampant through the soft tissue and mucosal folds of the genitalia, the area can become red and swollen, painful even to the slightest touch of undergarments. The swelling can become so inflamed that wearing clothes, sitting, or walking becomes extremely uncomfortable—even painful—affecting the ability to concentrate on work or sit still.
For cases of trichomoniasis, topical creams prescribed by a physician can help with inflammation and itching. Douching is counteractive and can cause further problems.3What Is Trichomoniasis? & How Do You Get It?
