Patient's question:
Now I am more than seven months pregnant, almost eight months. The first month I always had spotting and went to the hospital for a check-up, where it was diagnosed as trichomoniasis. After taking medication and getting better, I have been spotting again recently, along with brown discharge, a lot of flow, and frequent fetal movements. I don't know if the fetus is in danger.Doctor's answer:
It is best for both partners to take the medication simultaneously. Pregnant women should avoid taking it. During treatment, sexual intercourse is prohibited, and underwear should be changed frequently (exposed to sunlight or boiled for disinfection).(1) Metronidazole (Flagyl) 200mg, 3 times daily, for 7-10 days. Occasional nausea, poor appetite, and digestive discomfort-like symptoms may occur during medication.
(2) Tinidazole 200mg, 3 times daily, for 7-10 days.
(3) Nitrofurantoin (Macmiror) treats bacterial, trichomoniasis, and fungal-induced vulvovaginitis and urinary tract infections. It has no effect on vaginal bacteria and is considered an ideal medication. Dosage: 200mg, 3 times daily, for 7-10 days. Side effects are rare.
