General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, I understand your concern. -It seems your friend has Trichomonial infection,which is known to transmit by sexual relations.- & you have contacted it.( you should have used a condom ,when you knew that she was infected) - The itching/ frequency of urination indicate you are infected.. - You have to take tablet flucanozole along with cream for local use. Cital liquid would relieve urinary symptoms.--please meet a doctor for clinical examination & confirm the diagnosis & also advise proper dose for you.The medicines are to be taken by both sex partners. Thanks.
