What is the treatment for trichomoniasis?

Patient's question:

I am a 23-year-old professional woman. However, unfortunately, I contracted trichomoniasis two years ago and have no idea how I got the disease or what it is. I hope the doctor can give me a treatment for this condition. I don't want to live this way in a daze anymore.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, the main priority for treating trichomoniasis is metronidazole, which is primarily transmitted through sexual contact. It can also be spread indirectly through public baths, swimming pools, bed sheets, and other items. Generally, both partners need to be treated. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and a light diet is recommended, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Personal hygiene should be maintained, with underwear cleaned and boiled, then exposed to sunlight for drying. Regular follow-up tests are necessary.
