Can Flagyl for misdiagnosed Trichomoniasis harm me?
I went to the ER tonight because I thought I was having an ectopic pregnancy. Instead, I came out with a diagnosis of Trichomoniasis and was given a dose and a prescription for Flagyl. I have been married for 6 yrs. and have 4 children. I never had an abnormal pap. I have been faithful to my husband. And I have no reason to believe he has not. We are Christians also. So, this has been a bombshell on us. We trust each other though, so no arguments. I know there is no way that I could have gotten this sexually. So, after doing my own research, I saw on this site that maybe it was misdiagnosed. I am going to get a second opinion. But, my question is, can the Flagyl harm me if I was misdiagnosed? I took one dose before leaving the ER. And I am afraid to take anymore.
Also, why does no one believe that it can be possible for someone to get this other ways? If there is any rare exception, any one person could be that rare exception. In my case, I know that I have not done anything wrong to get this. It seems to me that a lot of people have stated that they got this and have not been sexually active or that they have been faithful. I was really offended by one website that suggested people who have this have had more than 4 partners or have traded sex for money or drugs... what?!!! I know I have not done that. That is not science, but stereotyping people. Sorry had to point that out. Anyway, the question again was, can the Flagyl harm me if I have been misdiagnosed?

that is not necessarily ture. i also was diagnosed with trich and i know i have never been unfaithful. and my husband went and got tested and he did not have it. so how do i because i never cheated or anything near it?
the only two options is that i was misdiagnosed or i got it some other way such as a toilet or towel and i was one of those rare cases.

Hi Lisa I went on CDC and it states that this disease is sexually transmitted. I honestly do not believe this anymore I was diagnosed two weeks ago and my husband went as soon as I got the diagnosis and his results just came back negative. Neither one of us have been unfaithful and this has nothing to do with my religion. We have been faithful there has to be another way this is contracted.
Go to the most reliable source of information: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website (www.cdc.gov/). You can read the information regarding Trichomoniasis (Nickname: Trick) under their STD category and also learn about the parasite under the parasitic division (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/trichomonas/factsht_trichomonas.htm#how_spread). I doubt you were misdiagnosed as a previous person wrote. Trick is a parasite that is easily observable and recognizable under a microscope. Men usually do not have symptoms and the disease normally clears up on its own, only as long as he does not become reinfected during the healing process. Since you're married there is the potential you could keep passing it back and forth unless you treat it correctly and refrain from sex until its gone. Also, the parasite cannot live in the external environment for too long.
It isn't likely trich was misdiagnosed. Trichomonas is a parasite that has a distinct characteristic. It has a tail that moves when looking at it under a microscope (wet mount). If it was tested by lab, then maybe. If you don't trust the ER's diagnosis, then see your gynecologist and go from there.
People now or day don't share other woman's panties or use other peoples towles to dry there intimate area. I was diagnosed with Trich and my partner had no choice but to admit his cheating. Its sad that a lot of woman are so wrapped up in religion that there disilluisoned to believe their partner are honest and loyal. Listen to me its pretty much safe to say that if you were faithful, your husband was not. Its time to have a long heart to heart and he needs to come clean abt his indiscretion. Don't be fooled burned you once he can burn you twice. Don't use Christianity as a reason to why people wouldn't hurt their partner because it happens everyday and your religion is above another. Were all human and make mistakes. You may be strong but your husband is not. Stop making excuses and face facts, your husband cheated ... Sorry but someone has to be brutally honest
You can get side effects form any medication...will it harm you...probably not.
I will say that too many people have come on here for me to believe that it is only sexually transmitted. You can get it from sharing a towle/dirty towle with someone who has it from, a hot tub...I think there are many different ways just only sexually can be proven by science.
