Patient's question:
Trichomoniasis, right lower abdominal pain after medication, pink vaginal discharge. Hello, what is the situation?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is primarily treated with systemic medication. Because trichomoniasis can exist in multiple locations such as the urethra, paraurethral glands, and Bartholin's glands, local treatment is not suitable. The main medications used are nitroimidazole drugs, such as metronidazole and tinidazole.Specific dosing methods:
- Metronidazole 2g, single dose;
- Or tinidazole 2mg, single oral dose;
- Or metronidazole 0.4mg, taken twice daily for 7 days.
For pregnant patients, metronidazole is recommended, with a 7-day course.
If trichomoniasis is transmitted sexually, it is recommended that the male partner also be treated.
