Patient's question:
Previously, after a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with trichomoniasis. I heard that this disease is difficult to heal on its own, and in severe cases, it may even be fatal. I'm very scared, so I want to ask the doctor how to treat trichomoniasis? Is there any way to reduce the risk of this disease?Doctor's answer:
Unlike vaginitis, which can be treated with oral medication or vaginal medication, metronidazole is quite effective and can be used as vaginal effervescent tablets or taken orally. Trichomoniasis, however, can be transmitted between both partners, so it is necessary to conduct thorough examinations and treat both individuals simultaneously to prevent the female from being reinfected by the male after recovery. This can lead to recurring and difficult-to-cure cases, meaning the condition tends to flare up frequently. Therefore, it is essential to have a simultaneous treatment effect that works well.
