How should trichomoniasis be treated? Thank you for the doctor's answer.
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 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 convenient 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 ideally avoided. There are several treatment methods for trichomoniasis, but since patients have different symptoms, the diagnostic methods used will vary. Therefore, patients need to be diagnosed as soon as possible to administer the correct treatment.
