Those who take the right antibiotics are usually not required to undergo further examination and to make additional analyzes on Trichomonas. However, if symptoms persist after treatment, or if the presence of symptoms, laboratory tests for Trichomonas were negative, the patient will need further examination as perhaps he has other STDs. Also, if you have had unprotected sex before the end of treatment, you need to again carry out the analysis, since it is possible that you have re-infection has occurred. Additional tests are also required if you:
- Not completed the course of treatment with antibiotics;
- Improperly taking antibiotics (eg, forgetting to take medication on time);
- You started vomiting soon after taking antibiotics.
Maybe the doctor will prescribe you a treatment with other drugs.
Throughout the course of treatment should not have sex, including - in a condom.
If you are prescribed a single dose of an antibiotic, sexual contacts should abstain for seven days after you have taken the drug.
