Patient's question:
When suffering from trichomoniasis, when is it best to take medication or apply medication? Are there any ways to solve it? It has been troubling me for a long time and my heart is also uncomfortable. I am seeking a solution.Doctor's answer:
Patients with trichomoniasis can take systemic medication metronidazole, also known as Flagyl, 200mg each time, 3 times a day, for a 7-day course; or 400mg, 2 times a day, for a total of 5 days. For new patients, a single dose of 2g can achieve the same effect. Oral administration is well-tolerated, with high efficacy, low toxicity, and convenient use, suitable for both men and women. Married women may find it difficult to use local vaginal medication, making systemic medication a more convenient option. Occasionally, after taking the medication, some patients may experience gastrointestinal reactions such as reduced appetite, nausea, and dry vomiting. In addition, during the treatment of trichomoniasis, besides immediate medical treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial.
