Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Bacterial Vaginosis - Does it require treatment for both partners? Currently, the female patient is using one suppository, one rinse, and two oral anti-inflammatory medications. Hello, if the male partner needs treatment, what should be done?Duration of Onset and Persistence: First noticed, initially planned for a tubal patency test, but found vaginitis, so it could not be performed. Approximately August 9th.
Current Condition: No obvious symptoms
Medical History: Previous mild cervical erosion
Diagnostic Examination: Microscopic examination of leukorrhea, cleanliness degree 4, no Trichomonas vaginalis/yeast
Other: Irregular menstruation
Doctor's answer:
Hello; Since Trichomonas vaginalis often accompanies trichomoniasis of the urinary system and intestines, the parasite can also hide in the cervical glands and the lower urinary tract. Simple local medication is not easy to completely eliminate it, and systemic medication is necessary to achieve a cure. The main drugs and their usage are as follows: (1) Oral medication Metronidazole for complete elimination of Trichomonas. This drug has high efficacy and low toxicity and can be used by both partners and married women. The dosage is 200 mg orally three times a day for a total of 7 days. After treatment, if the Trichomonas test results turn negative, another course of treatment should be administered after the next menstrual period.
