How long does trichomoniasis require medication?

Patient's question:

Vaginal odor

Doctor's answer:

Patients with trichomoniasis can take systemic medication with metronidazole, also known as Flagyl. This medication has good oral absorption, high efficacy, low toxicity, and is easy to use, making it suitable for both men and women. Unmarried women may find it difficult to use local vaginal medication, so systemic medication is more convenient. Occasionally, after taking the medication, some gastrointestinal reactions may occur, such as reduced appetite, nausea, and vomiting.
