The type of vaginitis detected is trichomonal vaginitis, which requires simultaneous treatment for both partners. It is necessary for both partners to disinfect all their underwear by either boiling or sun exposure. Treatment involves oral administration of metronidazole, tinidazole, or ornidazole, rather than using broad-spectrum antibiotics or vaginal suppository treatments. Vaginal medications may provide relief, but often the condition will recur.
