Metronidazole: Metronidazole is the recommended treatment for trichomonas infection.  Doxycycline is not recommended for this infection.

Question 2

what is trichomonisis?

Accepted Answer

Parasite: Trichamonas is a tiny parasite that is transmitted from infected people by sex. It is treated with an antibiotic. You and any partners you have had all need to get treated, or you can keep passing it back and forth to each other. Using condoms can prevent getting it or any other diseases. You need to be checked as soon as possible and make sure you don't have anything else.

Question 3

whats the cause of trichomonasis?

A parasite: Trichomonas vaginalis is a single cell parasite that is most commonly passed sexually. Men are rarely symptomatic while women are. Various treatments are available &amp; both male &amp; female partners need to be treated at the same time to stop spread.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Trichomonas: Symptoms include vaginal itching, a greenish or yellow frothy discharge and vaginal odor

Question 5

how do i know if i have trichomonasis?

Accepted Answer

Urine or vaginal : Urine test or vaginal swab.

Question 6

what r male symptoms of trichomonisis?

Accepted Answer

Alike UTI: Trichomonas is usually but not always symptomatic in males while it is almost never symptomatic in female. Men may experience burning, discharge, difficulty to void. Often times co-infection is present further complicating the picture.
Diagnosis however is established not by symptoms. You need evaluation of your history, examination and testing. If you have concerns then go and see your doctor.

Question 7

how do i know when im. cured from trichomonisis?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Trichomoniasis can be treated with Metronidazole in most cases, though I have seen resistant infections. To prove a cure involves an examination in the office and possibly a culture of the vagina.

Question 8

if my body showed symptoms of trichomonisis once , is it a guarantee my body will show symptoms again the second time?

Accepted Answer

No: If you are treated appropriately for trich, you should be cured.  If, after several weeks, it is positive, either you were not adequately treated or you got re-infected.

Question 9

how long can trichomonasis stay dormant in a man?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: There has never been any high quality research on this question. The best judgment of experts is that most infections in men are cleared by the immune system in a few weeks or months, but some cases may persist for years. Sorry I can't be more precise.

Question 10

can i pass trichomoniis to my boyfriend through oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Trichomonas generally does not infect the oral cavity, and therefore not transmitted by oral sex. If you have vaginal trich, of course you should get it treated and best to avoid all sex until then. However, performing oral sex on your partner -- or him performing oral on you -- probably is risk free. But other STDs often co-exist with trich, so maybe risk of gonorrhea, chlamydia, etc.
