Apple Cider Vinegar can help treat a yeast infection and is a safe and effective treatment for yeast infections.

You can pour some Apple Cider Vinegar in the bathtub and soak in it or apply some apple cider vinegar to your yeast infection to treat it.

Yeast infections are caused by yeast on the skin or mucous membranes.

The symptoms of a yeast infection depend on where it happens on your body. Common symptoms are a rash, white discharge, or itching. Yeast infections are treated with medicated ointments or other anti-yeast (antifungal) preparations.

Trichomoniasis is not caused by a yeast infection although it sometimes mistakenly is though that it is.

Trichomoniasis is caused by the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite, while yeast infections are caused by a fungus (usually the candida yeast).

These are two distinct types of organisms that exist and reproduce in different ways.

Trichomoniasis is also a strictly sexually transmitted infection.

A man can get rid of trichomoniasis the same way a woman can get rid of trichomoniasis which is by way of taking an antibiotic pill called Metronidazole.

The way you get tested for trichomoniasis is by looking at a sample of vaginal fluid for women or urine for men under a microscope.

If the parasite can be seen under the microscope, no further tests are needed.

If this test isn't conclusive, tests called rapid antigen tests and nucleic acid amplification may be used.

Once you begin taking metronidazole for trichomoniasis it usually cures the trichomoniasis within 7 to 10 days.

The best treatment and most common treatment for trichomoniasis is to take a pill known as metronidazole (Flagyl) or tinidazole (Tindamax).

The most common antibiotic that kills trichomoniasis is metronidazole.

Trichomoniasis is usually treated quickly and easily with antibiotics.

Most people are prescribed an antibiotic called metronidazole which is very effective if taken correctly.

You'll usually have to take metronidazole twice a day, for 5 to 7 days.

Sometimes this antibiotic can be prescribed in a single, larger dose.

It usually takes around 10 to 11 Flagyl pills to cure trichomoniasis.

A single 2 g dose of oral metronidazole is the recommended first-line treatment of trichomoniasis, with a 7-day dose (400 or 500 mg twice daily for 7 days) as second-line treatment.
