Patient's question:
How can trichomoniasis be treated? Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. It has been troubling me and causing me great discomfort.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, is a seven-day course. It is well-absorbed orally, highly effective, has low toxicity, and is easy to use, making it suitable for both men and women. Treatment should still be focused on one course after the next menstrual period. If close relatives suffer from genital trichomoniasis, sexual activity should be reduced or avoided altogether. Additionally, during the treatment of trichomoniasis, besides medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from trichomoniasis.
