Symptoms of trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Many people with trichomoniasis have no symptoms, but recognizing the signs when they occur is important to ensure early treatment and avoid complications.

In women, symptoms may include:

  • Frothy, yellow-green vaginal discharge with a strong odor
  • Genital redness, burning, or itching
  • Discomfort during urination or sexual intercourse
  • Lower abdominal pain

In men, symptoms can include:

  • Irritation inside the penis
  • Burning after urination or ejaculation
  • Discharge from the penis

Since trichomoniasis can often be asymptomatic, regular STI screenings are recommended, especially for people with new or multiple partners.

How is trichomoniasis diagnosed?

Diagnosing trichomoniasis typically involves the following steps:

Symptom review
A provider will ask about any current symptoms, including unusual discharge, burning during urination, or genital irritation.

Physical exam
A pelvic exam for women or a genital exam for men may be performed to check for visible signs of infection.

Laboratory testing

  • Microscopy (wet mount): A sample of vaginal or urethral discharge is examined under a microscope to detect the parasite.
  • Culture: Culturing a sample can improve diagnostic accuracy by allowing the parasite to grow in a lab setting.
  • Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs): These are highly sensitive tests that detect the DNA of Trichomonas vaginalis and are considered the gold standard in many clinical settings.

Prompt diagnosis is key to preventing further transmission and ensuring proper treatment.

What are trichomoniasis treatment options?

Trichomoniasis is effectively treated with prescription antibiotics that target the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite. Treatment plans may vary based on symptom severity, patient tolerance, and medication resistance.

Standard treatment options:

  • Metronidazole: A single 2-gram oral dose is often used as a first-line treatment.
  • Tinidazole: Another effective option, also taken as a single 2-gram oral dose.

Alternative regimen:
For patients who cannot tolerate a high single dose or those experiencing recurrent infections, a 7-day course of metronidazole 500 mg taken orally twice daily is recommended.

Other considerations:

  • Partner treatment: Sexual partners should be treated at the same time to prevent reinfection.
  • Alcohol interactions: Avoid alcohol during treatment and for at least 24 hours after the last dose of metronidazole or 72 hours after tinidazole—to prevent serious reactions.
  • Pregnancy: Metronidazole is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but should be taken under provider supervision.
  • Recurrent or resistant infections: For treatment-resistant cases, a prolonged regimen of tinidazole may be recommended.

What are commonly used medications for trichomoniasis?

Several antibiotics are approved for treating trichomoniasis, with metronidazole and tinidazole being the most commonly used. All medications require a prescription from a licensed provider.

Metronidazole (brand names: Flagyl and others):

  • Typical dosage: Either a single 2-gram oral dose or 500 mg taken twice daily for 7 days.
  • How it works: Metronidazole disrupts DNA synthesis in anaerobic organisms, leading to cell death.
  • Side effects: Nausea, metallic taste, and occasional gastrointestinal discomfort.
  • Cautions: Avoid alcohol during use and for at least 24 hours after finishing treatment.

Tinidazole (brand name: Tindamax):

  • Typical dosage: A single 2-gram oral dose taken with food.
  • How it works: It functions similarly to metronidazole by damaging the parasite’s DNA.
  • Side effects: Nausea, bitter taste, and gastrointestinal upset.
  • Cautions: Do not drink alcohol for at least 72 hours after completing treatment.

Secnidazole (brand name: Solosec):

  • Note: Approved for bacterial vaginosis but not FDA-approved for trichomoniasis. Use for trichomoniasis remains off-label in the U.S.

Important notes:

  • Over-the-counter medications are not effective against trichomoniasis.
  • Treatment should always be guided by a licensed medical provider.
  • Refrain from sexual activity until treatment is complete and symptoms have resolved to prevent reinfection.
