Reoccuring Trichomonas

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?

did you go back again to make sure it is trich going on and not a different vaginitis?

your provider can try tindazole to see if that clears the infection this time or a longer treatment with flagyl.
