FAQs about trichomoniasis treatment online

Can a man get rid of trichomoniasis without treatment?

Trichomoniasis, also known as trich, doesn’t go away independently and needs treatment for complete recovery. Additionally, it is contagious and can cause infection to spread to other sexual partners unless treated. 

How long can a man carry trichomoniasis?

A man can carry the infection from 5 to 28 days without showing symptoms. However, those who show symptoms experience pain while peeing and unusual discharge from the penis. 

How long can you have trichomoniasis without knowing?

Trichomoniasis infection is asymptomatic, meaning you may have it for months or years without knowing. It occurs irrespective of gender; some show mild symptoms while others remain asymptomatic. 

What can be mistaken for trichomonas?

Trichomoniasis is often confused with bacterial vaginosis, as both cause the release of an unpleasant discharge. Both have different treatments, so correct diagnosis is important before starting the treatment. 

Who is more at risk for trichomoniasis?

If your sexual partner has trichomoniasis, you are also at risk of contracting the infection. Moreover, older women are more prone to trich infection as menopause may disturb the vaginal flora due to hormonal changes. Additionally, low socioeconomic status, education, and black women are other risk factors for trichomoniasis.

What are the long-term effects of trichomoniasis?

Trichomoniasis, in the longer run, is correlated with the risk of prostate cancer in males. However, in women, it can increase the risk of HIV/AIDS infection and cervical cancer.

Can Trichomonas cause sore throat?

Trichomoniasis is not associated with mouth ulcers or infections like other STIs. However, in rare cases, mouth and throat infection is reported, including burning, irritation, and pain. 

Can you get trich from a UTI?

No, there is no direct link between trichomoniasis and urinary tract infections. A parasitic infection causes Trich. However, the causes of urinary tract infections are viruses or bacteria. UTIs can cause weak immunity, increasing the risk of contracting infections like trichomoniasis. 

What permanent damage can trichomoniasis cause?

Trichomoniasis in women can cause serious vaginal issues like cervicitis, vaginitis, and urethritis. These health conditions can impact the fertility health of women and their ability to conceive, leading to preterm delivery, stillbirth, and low birth weight issues. Moreover, it can increase the risk of contracting other infections like cervical cancer, herpes simplex virus, and human papillomavirus. 

What happens if metronidazole doesn't work for trichomoniasis?

In most cases, metronidazole works the best. However, if it fails, a potential alternative is tinidazole. For these medications to work effectively, it is important to avoid alcohol during and for 3 days once the dosage is complete.

What is the new treatment for trichomoniasis?

Recently a new treatment for trichomoniasis has been marketed which is single-dose secnidazole. It proved effective against the most prevalent nonviral STI infection i.e., trichomoniasis.

How do you get rid of recurrent trichomoniasis?

You can get rid of infection and remission of trichomoniasis via medications like metronidazole 500mg taken twice a day for 7 days. Otherwise, you can take tinidazole 2g once a day. See a doctor if you are allergic to these medications for either a better solution or desensitization treatment. 

How to cure trichomoniasis without going to the doctor?

You can cure trichomoniasis without going to the doctor by consulting your healthcare expert virtually. You can now connect virtually with an online doctor at the ease of your home and get the correct diagnosis and treatment at the right time.
