It is a very common sexually transmitted infection<\/strong> (STD) in men and women<\/a> – more than 3.5 million Americans get trich infections every year.<\/p>\n Trichomonas infections occur more often in women than in men. The parasite infects the vulva, vagina, cervix, and urethra in women and the urethra in men.<\/p>\n At New York Urology Specialists, we offer same-day Trichomoniasis treatment for men and women<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We also perform comprehensive STD testing<\/a><\/strong> for other infections. We offer confidential appointments. Our prices are affordable with or without insurance. Call\/text today: 1-646-663-4125 <\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>or <\/span>make an appointment<\/span><\/a> online. <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The symptoms of trich can vary. Not everyone who has a trichomonas infection can tell that they are infected. In fact, only about one-third of people with trich infection develop any symptoms<\/strong>. We do not know why some people get symptoms and others remain symptom-free. Age and overall health status likely play a role. When present, trichomoniasis symptoms can range in severity from mild irritation to severe inflammation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Symptoms of trich usually appear 5 to 28 days after infection<\/strong> but can appear much later. Trichomonas symptoms may wax and wane (come and go) and women with trich may find sex unpleasant.<\/p>\n If you think you may have trichomoniasis, talk to the board-certified urologists at New York Urology Specialists today<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s important for both you and your partner to get tested and treated. Without treatment, trichomonas infections can fester for months or even years.<\/p>\n Trichomonas is a sexually transmitted infection<\/a><\/strong>. The parasite is passed from person to person during sex<\/strong>. It can spread from the penis to the vagina, vagina to the penis, and vagina to the vagina. Other parts of the body, such as the hands, mouth, or anus are not usually infected by the parasite.<\/p>\n Before worrying about infidelity or blaming your partner, remember that 7 out of 10 people with trich infection do not develop any symptoms. However, an infected person without any symptoms can still spread the infection to others<\/strong>. So, it\u2019s possible you or your partner got infected before you were in a relationship with each other.<\/p>\n If you think you have trich, don\u2019t jump to conclusions. Many of the symptoms of trichomonas are nonspecific, i.e., they can be caused by other STDs. Routine testing for STDs<\/a><\/strong> is important. It\u2019s not possible to diagnose trich based on symptoms alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n Schedule an appointment<\/a> <\/strong>with the fellowship-trained urologists at New York Urology Specialists to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n Symptoms can take 5-28 days to appear but trich will show up on testing an infected person anytime after they are infected.<\/p>\n Trichomonas can be detected on a urine test<\/strong>. At New York Urology Specialists we do DNA-based testing for trichomonas<\/strong> which is very reliable. Urine testing avoids the discomfort of swab testing. Trichomonas can also be detected in vaginal or urethral discharge under a microscope and on Pap tests in women. It can be hard to diagnose trich in men.<\/p>\n Treatment for trichomoniasis is offered to men and women if a sexual partner is diagnosed with this STI. If symptoms of urethral itching and burning continue despite treatment for gonorrhea and chlamydia, treatment for trich may be offered (link<\/a>).<\/p>\n Trichomoniasis is a curable STD. A single course of antibiotics is effective in<\/strong> curing 90 percent of people<\/strong>. Studies show that a 2-gram single oral dose of metronidazole or tinidazole is effective in most people. Stubborn infections may require longer treatment with larger doses of antibiotics.<\/p>\n If symptoms are not better after treatment, it is possible that other infections such as chlamydia<\/a><\/strong>, or gonorrhea<\/a> <\/strong>are causing your symptoms.<\/p>\n It is important for sex partners to be tested and treated<\/a> at the same time<\/strong> to avoid passing the infection back and forth. Sexual intercourse should be avoided until one week after the last dose of antibiotic for trich.<\/p>\n The most common drugs prescribed for trichomonas<\/strong> are Flagyl (metronidazole) and Tindamax or Fasigyn (tinidazole). Flagyl comes as a tablet to be taken by mouth or as a gel to be applied to the vagina. Trichomonas can be cured with a single dose of antibiotics (metronidazole or tinidazole). It is safe for pregnant women to take these medications. Alcohol should be avoided for 24 hours after taking this drug or it can cause vomiting and severe abdominal pain. Side effects of the medication include nausea, vomiting, and a metallic taste in the mouth, which can be minimized by taking the medication after a meal (link<\/a>).<\/p>\n Treatment for trichomoniasis does not protect against future infections. In fact, 1 in 5 people gets re-infected within 3 months of antibiotic treatment<\/strong>. To avoid getting re-infected, it\u2019s important for all sex partners to get tested and treated for trich at the same time and to wait for about a week after symptoms go away before having sex.<\/p>\n Trichomonas infection causes genital inflammation and increases the chances of getting and spreading other STDs<\/strong>, such as HIV. Long-term trich infections in women can lead to changes in the cervix<\/strong> which may be visible on routine Pap smear. In pregnant women, trichomoniasis is associated with preterm delivery and low birth weight. Treatment for trichomoniasis prevents it from spreading to sexual partners. In men, untreated trich can cause prostatitis and epididymitis (link<\/a>).<\/p>\n New York Urology Specialists is a full-service urology office<\/strong>. We offer same-day, confidential STD testing<\/a><\/strong> for trichomonas and other sexually and non-sexually transmitted infections. If you think you may have been exposed to the trichomonas parasite, schedule an appointment today<\/strong><\/a> with our highly trained and experienced urologists.<\/p>\n About 7 out of 10 people with trichomoniasis do not have any symptoms but can still spread the infection to their sex partners. Trichomonas is curable with a single dose of antibiotics <\/strong>in 90 percent of people. Untreated trich predisposes to other STDs such as HIV.<\/p>\n If you have any questions about testing or treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STI), to schedule a consultation<\/a>, please <\/a>contact us<\/a> or call\/text: 1-646-663-4125<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n We have excellent reviews from patients<\/a> and their partners. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n We also offer emergency care for men and women with urological and sexual problems including same-day and next-day appointments for STD treatment and testing in New York City and Northern NJ.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Urologists are doctors specializing in the treatment of infections in men and women caused by sexually transmitted diseases as well as bladder infections (UTI).
