After having vaginal itching and an odorous discharge I went to my doctor. I had a pap done and the results came back that I had trichomonas. She prescribed 4 ea, 500 mg tablets of metronidazole to be taken all at once. I laundered all clothing, sheets, towels, etc in hot water to avoid recontamination. My husband also got treated and we have not had sex since before I was diagnosed. The symptoms went away but returned in about 3 weeks. I was again prescribed the antibiotic. I took it again and took all precautions against recontamination but now, 3 weeks later, it has returned again. What can I do to get rid of this pest?
your provider can try tindazole to see if that clears the infection this time or a longer treatment with flagyl.
