Patient's question:
Female, my daughter has no sexual activity, 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: What is the treatment for trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is primarily spread through sexual contact. It can be treated with oral and topical therapies, and both partners should be treated simultaneously to prevent mutual infection. Systemic medication metronidazole, also known as Flagyl, can be used by both men and women. It is still necessary to complete a full course of treatment after the next menstrual period. If a close relative has trichomoniasis of the reproductive tract, sexual activity should be reduced or avoided. Women facing gynecological and obstetric risks should actively undergo thorough examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If gynecological and obstetric conditions do not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
