Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. For some unknown reason, I ended up suffering from trichomoniasis, experiencing itching in the genital area and an increase in vaginal discharge. I received intravenous drips at a small hospital and took a lot of medication, but the condition kept recurring and never improved. My mood has been truly terrible. How can I be completely cured of trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is a vaginal inflammatory disease caused by the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite. Because this disease is transmitted through sexual contact, it tends to recur with frequent relapses. The treatment for trichomoniasis is based on nitroimidazole antimicrobial drugs. Unmarried women can use metronidazole suppositories or ornidazole effervescent tablets for treatment. It is best to continue medication for three menstrual cycles. The patient's husband should also undergo testing, as he may need treatment if infected.
