Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, but so far, we haven't had any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm very worried that my condition might worsen. How is trichomoniasis treated?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent trichomoniasis may also be due to incomplete treatment. In such cases, the treatment duration needs to be extended. Vaginal medication can be administered during the intermenstrual period, but it should be discontinued during menstruation. After the menstrual period ends, repeat the treatment as described above for a total of 2 to 3 months. Additionally, herbal decoctions can be used for sitz baths. It is best to have a gynecological examination and check vaginal discharge after each menstrual period. Only when three consecutive tests show a negative result for trichomonads can the condition be considered cured. Sexual activity is prohibited during the treatment period.
