2. Trichomoniasis Treatments
If you or your partner are experiencing trichomoniasis symptoms, your first step should be to consult a doctor to get an STD test. If diagnosed with trichomoniasis, you can try some over-the-counter therapies that may help to alleviate any soreness or itching. In the meantime, you should abstain from putting any foreign object into the vagina or the urethra of the penis as this may further complicate matters. Here are a few over the counter solutions that help treat trichomoniasis:
- Douching products – Douching is extremely important for women who have been diagnosed with trichomoniasis. The combination of water and other chemicals in over-the-counter douche products can help eliminate itching, odors, and other trichomonas vaginalis symptoms.
- Creams and lotions – There are a variety of lotions and creams designed specifically for the genital area. However, it can be difficult to decide which product is ideal based on your symptoms. Therefore, it would be a good idea to speak with a physician before choosing a particular brand. If you’re choosing a product without first seeking the advice of a physician, it will be in your best interest to choose one that is hypoallergenic; also, you will want to avoid any products containing added colors or fragrances as they can intensify irritation.
