Failure in the treatment of trichomoniasis

In some patients, Trichomonas detected after the treatment. What patients are associated with resistance to treatment trichomonas and inefficient products from a group of 5-nitroimidazole, but the reasons for the failure of therapy is usually more.

The most likely cause reinfection from sexual partners, so treatment is necessary for all partners of the patient, even those whose tests showed no presence of trichomonas. For the same reason, when treating trichomoniasis is better to avoid sex. There are a number of practical difficulties - not all people reported a partner about a history of STIs. And not every "healthy" person can be forced to take pills.

The second most important cause of treatment failure - not compliance and dosing regimen of drugs prescribed by your doctor.

For the successful treatment of trichomoniasis in women is important to normalize vaginal microflora. Because it is normal microflora prevents the development of Trichomonas. Normalization of the microflora may contribute to the use of vaccine Solkotrihovak.

Possible failure of therapy due to resistance of Trichomonas to drugs. But the more common partial resistance when increasing the dose and / or duration of therapy leads to recovery. Trichomonads resistant to one drug from the group of 5-nitroimidazole may be sensitive to another. Therefore, a change of drugs may also lead to getting rid of trichomoniasis.

It may meet the total resistance to all 5-nitroimidazole, this situation is rare, although these patients are the worst treatable. It is important for them to create new medicines and approaches to therapy of trichomoniasis. To avoid development of resistance of Trichomonas need to take drugs strictly according to instructions of your doctor.
