Trihomoniasis
Saturday, 15 December 2007
The protozoa infection (Trichomonas vaginalis) – the treatment is with antibiotics.

Women – infection of vagina and the surrounding organs that could lead to cystitis. Among women, the disease is usually discovered on a routine PAPA test.

Men – it causes a light urethra infection, and sometimes it could result in bacterial urethritis

Children – transmission of the disease is possible during birth, usually without any symptoms.

The symptoms among women are:
  • Abundant, yellow and foamy vaginal secretion of unpleasant smell
  • A painful vagina infection
  • Itching and soreness of the vulva
  • Stinging during urination
  • Unpleasantness during a sexual intercourse
The symptoms are also rare among men, but if they ever occur, these are the symptoms:
  • Complications during urination
  • Secretion from the penis
Infection confirmation is done by a smear test of the infected area and a protozoa presence test. Sexual partners and newborns of diseased mothers should also be tested even if they don’t have any symptoms and should be treated if necessary.
