How long does it take for medication to treat trichomoniasis?

Patient's question:

Currently taking oral Cefixime capsules, using Metronidazole externally, and then washing with a solution. How long will it take to get better by taking the medicine? What kind of help is desired: How long until it can be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with trichomoniasis can take systemic medication with metronidazole, also known as Flagyl. This medication has good oral absorption, high efficacy, low toxicity, and is convenient to use for both men and women. Married women may find it difficult to use local vaginal medication, making systemic medication a more convenient option. After taking the medication, some patients may experience gastrointestinal reactions, such as reduced appetite, nausea, and dry vomiting. In addition to active treatment, patients with trichomoniasis should also maintain a healthy diet in their daily lives to digest nutrients. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you!
