How is common trichomoniasis treated?

Patient's question:

Female, my daughter has no sexual life, and I also pay attention to her hygiene situation. However, recently the girl always feels itchy in the external genital area, and her studies have been affected. She is very troubled. Please ask: How to treat common trichomoniasis vaginitis well?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of vaginitis first requires medication after diagnosis. The treatment of trichomoniasis vaginitis is necessary because the parasite can also infect the urethra, paraurethral glands, and Bartholin's glands, so the disease cannot be cured on its own and requires systemic medication. The main medications used are metronidazole and tinidazole. For initial treatment, oral administration is recommended, while severe cases may require intravenous infusion. The treatment course is 7 days. Sexual partners should also be treated concurrently. For severe gynecological patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not arbitrarily switch medications, as this may lead to the opposite effect. Thank you.
