Trichomoniasis

Treatment

Trichomoniasis is a common STD caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. This parasite is usually transferred between sexual partners during unprotected sex.

Although the morning after pill and other birth control methods may prevent pregnancy, having sex without a condom is what allows the parasite to spread.

Only a percentage of people who have trichomoniasis exhibit symptoms, so the condition is difficult to detect. If you are sexually active with multiple partners, you should be tested regularly.

FAQ

Trichomoniasis is one of many common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It is a parasitic infection transferred by having unprotected sex. Birth control methods do not protect against STDs. One of the only options that offer protection from most STDs is condoms.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up to 70% of people who have trichomoniasis may not experience any symptoms. It is, therefore, possible for you or your partner to have had the infection from a previous sexual relationship without realizing it. The best way to prevent this is to get regular tests done as long as you are sexually active with new or changing partners
It’s very unlikely for trichomoniasis to go away on its own. The best way to cure the condition and manage the symptoms is to treat trichomoniasis with doctor-prescribed medication. The most common medication used is prescription antibiotics. You can get trichomoniasis treatment online. Start a consult now to connect with a CallonDoc physician.
The best way to manage trichomoniasis is if it is caught early on through testing. Early treatment is essential, especially for pregnant women or women looking to get pregnant in the future. Left untreated, trichomoniasis can spread to other organs and cause premature births for expecting women and infertility in men. Having untreated trichomoniasis can also increase your risk of contracting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Trichomoniasis is typically treated with antibiotics. The two most common antibiotics used are metronidazole and tinidazole. These antibiotics may take anywhere between a few days to a few weeks to clear up the infection, depending on how severe the condition is. For the best results, both you and your partner should take an antibiotic as they may have trichomoniasis without showing symptoms. With CallonDoc, you can get 1/2 off treatment for your partner with CallonDoc’s Expedited Partner Treatment.
Using CallonDoc, you can get your antibiotics online or even get a prescription refill sent directly to your local pharmacy, ready for you to collect. CallonDoc also offers a free two week follow up consultation with every visit in case you’re still experiencing symptoms.
You can get tested in-person or order an At-Home test for t for trichomoniasis, herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea and more from the comfort of your home. Test kits are delivered to you where you provide the needed samples and send them back to an accredited lab. Results are secured online with your televisit and treatment, which are also included with your At-Home Test.
The only way to get a prescription for trichomoniasis medication is by consulting with a board-certified physician. If you don't physically want to visit a doctor’s office, you can get online treatment for trichomoniasis using CallonDoc. Once your diagnosis is confirmed, a doctor will provide you with an online prescription for the necessary medication to clear up the infection
Regardless of whether you get treatment online or in real life, you’ll need to take a course of antibiotics, and not a single dose, to clear up the infection. This treatment can take between five days and a week, or more to be 100% effective.
The two most common antibiotics prescribed to treat trichomoniasis are metronidazole and tinidazole. You can get a prescription for either of these in minutes by using CallonDoc to get online treatment for trichomoniasis, no insurance needed
No, there are no reported cases of transferring trichomoniasis through oral sex, only vaginal sex.
No, a doctor needs to diagnose trichomoniasis and prescribe antibiotics as a treatment. There are many home remedies advertised on the internet, but none have been proven effective when compared to doctor-prescribed medication
