Patient's question:
I would like to ask, is trichomoniasis directly related to sexual activity? If you haven't had sexual activity, could you still get trichomoniasis? Thank you?Doctor's answer:
Patients with trichomoniasis can take systemic medication metronidazole, also known as Flagyl, 200mg each time, 3 times a day, with a 7-day course; or 400mg, 2 times a day, for a total of 5 days. For initial patients, a single dose of 2g can achieve the same effect. Oral administration is well-tolerated, with high efficacy, low toxicity, and convenient use, suitable for both men and women. Married women may find it difficult to use local vaginal medication, making systemic medication a more convenient option. Occasionally, gastrointestinal side effects may occur after taking the medication, such as reduced appetite, nausea, and dry vomiting. Trichomoniasis has a significant impact on patients, so it is important to seek medical attention promptly upon noticing symptoms. Additionally, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that patients with trichomoniasis can receive professional treatment.
