Patient's question:
Patient is a female, diagnosed with trichomoniasis. Could you please ask the doctor what medication would be better to take?Doctor's answer:
No, patients with trichomoniasis can take systemic medication with metronidazole, also known as Flagyl. This medication is well-absorbed when taken orally, has a high efficacy, low toxicity, and is easy to use. It can be used by both men and women. Married women often find it difficult to use local vaginal medication, making systemic medication a convenient alternative. After taking the medication, some gastrointestinal side effects may occasionally occur, such as reduced appetite, nausea, and dry vomiting. Patients with trichomoniasis can, while understanding professional treatment, also use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness and never overeat or binge on food in daily dietary habits.
