treatment of trichamoas
If a pap smear reports trichamonas present, do you need treat it if has been chronic on two previous pap smears and was treated in the past?

Trich wouldn't show on a pap smear, but would on a test of your vaginal secretions. Has your partner been treated? Perhaps you are just getting re-infected. I would certainly be treating it.

I'm under the impression that you should treat trich until it is resolved, but that it can sometimes require multiple treatments. I would suggest having it treated with a course of whatever meds used, and then be retseted and if still present, treat again. Although I was told that there are no long terms effects of having trich for a prolonged period of time it often causes unpleasant symptoms for many women
