If you think that some of the symptoms you are experiencing may be Trich, then go see your doctor. The doctor will determine whether it is Trichamoniasis by giving a pelvic or genital examination and by testing a sample of vaginal or urethral discharge. Sometimes a doctor will detect Trich through a Pap smear.

Trich can be treated with prescription medication and both partners should be treated at the same time, even if one has no symptoms. The two favorite and most successful medications to treat Trichamoniasis would be:

• Tinidazole: Even at high dosages, Tinidazole is more tolerable and less toxic than Metronidazole. It also has achieved a cure rate of over 90% for both men and women!
• Metronidazole: Though Metronidazole has a 90-95% cure rate. Patients who were highly resistant to Metronidazole, were completely cured from Tinidazole. Patients and doctors tend to lean towards Tinidazole for the cure of Trichamoniasis due to it being more tolerable and less toxic nature.

STD’s tend to not cause very obvious symptoms. Because of this people often don’t know if they’re infected. That is why it is important to get screened regularly for STDs if sexually active, especially with more than one partner.
