Brief Answer:
Treatment with metronidazole is needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

The protozoal cysts are due to an infection and treatment with metronidazole should take care of the problem. You need not worry about the vegetable cells. They are due to improper digestion. They are likely to go away.

You need not worry.
