Patient's question:
I have discomfort in my urethra. After a thorough examination, it was found to be trichomoniasis prostatitis. How should I treat this type of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomonas is an anaerobic bacterium. It can cause recurrent gynecological inflammation such as vaginitis in women, while men infected with trichomonas may develop urethritis and prostatitis. Trichomoniasis prostatitis, which manifests symptoms similar to those of ordinary prostatitis, is not difficult to diagnose clinically. Treatment requires oral medications such as metronidazole or tinidazole after detecting trichomonas in prostatic fluid through bacterial culture. The medication should be taken continuously for about 1 to 2 weeks.
