Understanding Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It affects both men and women and is one of the most common curable STDs worldwide. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications.
Symptoms and Signs of Trichomoniasis
Many individuals experience no symptoms, but common signs include abnormal vaginal or penile discharge, genital itching or irritation, discomfort during urination, and redness or soreness. Recognizing these symptoms early can lead to prompt treatment.
Diagnosing Trichomoniasis
Diagnosis involves laboratory testing such as microscopic examination, rapid antigen tests, or nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT). These tests are performed by healthcare providers during a clinical visit or via telehealth consultations with trusted providers like Klarity.
Effective Treatment Options
Standard treatment includes prescription antibiotics such as metronidazole or tinidazole. These medications cure the infection, usually within a week. It's important to treat all sexual partners simultaneously to prevent reinfection.
