Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the clearance of gonorrhe and trichomonas do take time period of around 2-3 weeks depending upon the load of bacteria and host immune response.

* The intermittent discharge during the therapy is normal part of physiology response and should not be worried.

* Following guidelines will help you

- drink more liquids
- private parts hygiene care
- balanced nutritious diet to boost up the immunity status
- additional intake of metronidazole for trichomonas fasten recovery
- strict abstinence from sex till complete recovery documented by reports of lab.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
