Question 5

thought i had trichomoniasis like a year ago but i only had one symptom. took some antibiotics for trichomoniasis in case but i have been having a odor and i have been trying everything to get rid of it but i havent been sexually active please help!

Accepted Answer

Trichomoniasis: This is a sexually transmitted disease that usually causes a foul smelling odor with discharge. Since you're not sexually active, your symptoms could be due to another condition called bacterial vaginosis which is caused by bacterial overgrowth in the vagina resulting in a disturbance of the usual vaginal bacteria population. I recommend having an evaluation by a gynecologist for diagnosis and tre

Question 6

why is trichomoniasis hard to get rid off?
one course of treatment with antibiotics and vaginal suppositories wasn't enough.
i am taking another treatment, after 9 months. i  havent had sex since the first treatment. will i need another treatment?

Accepted Answer

Treating trichomonas: Persistent trich after Rx usually is because metronidazole is only moderately active against it. Oral treatment is more effective than vaginal; and oral for a 5-7d more reliable than single dose. Tinidazole (Tindamax) is more active, sometimes works better. Rare cases are highly resisitant to both and may require special treatment e.g. paromomycin IV. See infectious disease specialist. Good luck!

Question 7

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Talk to doctor: If you took the medicine as was prescribe, it should be resolved. You can be retested for the infection to test if it is  still present.

Question 9

suspect of trichomoniasis... my sex partner is getting treatment... i don't have symptoms, but i had them,didn't get treatment?

Accepted Answer

Trichomonas: You should be treated. Men often are colonized without symptoms, and without clearing this you are likely to reinfect your sexual partner and having it increases the risk of acquiring other STDs. Without treatment, the infection can last for months or even years. Go see somebody who knows about STDs. Good luck.

Question 10

i am having issues with trying to get riding trichomoniasis i've done 4 treatments and still haven't gotten rid of it please help?

Accepted Answer

Possibilities: There are several possible reasons for this: 1) perhaps you haven't been treated with the right antibiotic. Metronidazole 500mg twice a day for 7 days is the only antibiotic effective against trichomoniasis. 2) any and all sexual partners must also be treated, and then tested to make sure that they aren't re-infecting you with the trichomoniasis 3) wrong diagnosis: could be something else?
