A member asked:

I recently took a 4 pill (flagyl) treatment for trichomonas. how long should i wait before having intercourse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Waiting time?: Was your anticipated partner with whom you acquired the infection treated as well? Was the Flagyl dose 2000 mgs for a stat dose? Why not visit your gyn md's "waiting room" to be re-checked after treatment before "sharing bodily fluids" with anyone as trichomonas is transmitted sexually.
