TrochomoniasisTrichomoniasis, also called “trick,” is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a parasite.

The sexual transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that can be spread through sexual contact.

More than twenty different STDs have been identified.

Some of these STDs are chlamydia, syphilis [Syphilis treatment], gonorrhea, genital warts, genital herpes [Genital herpes symptoms], HIV/AIDS and so on.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) research, in the United States, about 7.4 million new cases of trichomoniasis occur in women every year.

Trichomoniasis is mainly an infection of the urogenital tract where the vagina is the most common area that gets infected, which can be treated and cured with antibiotics (medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria).

Trichomoniasis treatment typically involves a single large dose of oral prescription drug metronidazole or split doses over the course of a week. This type of trichomoniasis treatment cures the disease efficiently.

Trichomoniasis treatment is important for pregnant woman because studies shows that trichomoniasis may increase a pregnant woman’s risk of premature delivery and also the risk of HIV transmission from mother to baby.

So, a pregnant woman can use metronidazole only after the completion of the first-trimester of pregnancy.
