About Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, an anaerobic protozoan parasite. It is one of the most common non-viral STDs worldwide. While men are frequently asymptomatic carriers experiencing minor urethral tingling, women often suffer from severe vaginal itching, irritation, and characteristic frothy discharge.

Testing Window Period

Earliest Detection 5 - 7 Days post-exposure
Optimal Window 14 - 28 Days post-exposure

Symptoms

Women: Frothy yellow-green discharge with strong odor, genital redness, burning during urination.

Men: Irritation inside the penis, mild burning after urination or ejaculation.

Sample Requirement & Preparation

Men: First-Catch Urine

Catch first 20-30 ml. Hold urine for at least 1 to 2 hours beforehand.

Women: Vaginal Swab or Urine

Vaginal swab provides superior sensitivity. Do not use vaginal douches 24 hours prior.

Confidential Treatment Protocol

Partnered Care at Derma Clinic

Trichomoniasis is treated with targeted antiprotozoal medications. Simultaneous partner treatment is mandatory to prevent ping-pong re-infection. Consult confidentially with Dr. Utsav Sharma at Derma Clinic (4th Floor Bishal Bhawan) after obtaining your NAAT report.
