This study investigated the effect of nano-Ag/TiO₂ composite antibacterial agent on bacterial vaginosis and trichomonas vaginitis. Bacterial vaginosis and trichomonas vaginitis were treated with nano-Ag/TiO₂ composite antibacterial agent (composite treatment group) and ornidazole suppository (traditional treatment group). Vaginal secretions from both treatment groups were analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the methods. The effective rate of the nano-Ag/TiO₂ composite antibacterial agent was 97.0% for bacterial vaginosis and 94.4% for trichomonas vaginitis. The traditional treatment method, ornidazole suppository, showed an effective rate of 79.5% for bacterial vaginitis and 88.9% for trichomonas vaginitis. Therefore, the nano-Ag/TiO₂ composite antibacterial agent was determined to be an effective treatment method for bacterial vaginosis and trichomonas vaginitis.
