Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that my discharge is thick, cloudy, and has an odor. After examination, it was found to be trichomoniasis. I would like to ask if sweet foods have an impact on trichomoniasis.Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is primarily spread through sexual contact. Oral and topical treatments can be adopted. It is also necessary for both partners to be treated simultaneously to prevent mutual infection. Systemic medication metronidazole, also known as Flagyl, is a seven-day course. It is well-absorbed orally, highly effective, has low toxicity, and is easy to use. It can be used by both men and women. Treatment should still be focused on one course after the next menstrual period. When close relatives suffer from genital trichomoniasis, sexual activity should be increased or preferably avoided. There are many treatment methods for trichomoniasis, but since patients have different symptoms, the diagnostic methods used may vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
