Overview
History
A detailed and thorough sexual history from the patient is necessary. Specific areas of focus when obtaining a history from the patient include:
- Number and type of sexual partners (new, casual, or regular)
- Contraception use
- Previous history of trichomoniasis or other sexually transmitted diseases
Symptoms
The majority of women (85 %) and men (77 %) with trichomoniasis are asymptomatic. One third of asymptomatic women become symptomatic within 6 months.[1] Common symptoms of trichomoniasis in women include:
- Vaginal discharge (which is often diffuse, malodorous, and yellow-green or gray in color)
- Painful urination (dysuria)
- Vulvar irritation and itching
- Abdominal pain
- Discomfort during sexual intercourse
Symptoms of trichomoniasis in males include:
- Clear or mucopurulent urethral discharge
- Painful urination
- Pruritus or burning sensation following sexual intercourse
