What is Trichomoniasis? Abnormal Vaginal Discharge and Precautions for Partner-to-Partner Infection


Trichomoniasis is an infection caused by a protozoan called Trichomonas vaginalis. While women often experience symptoms such as foamy vaginal discharge, men are frequently asymptomatic, and it is common for partners to unknowingly transmit the infection to each other. This page provides a detailed explanation of the characteristic symptoms, treatment methods, and the importance of simultaneous treatment with one's partner.

  • Typical symptoms in women include foamy, yellowish-green vaginal discharge, a foul odor, and vulvar itching.
  • Men are often asymptomatic and can unknowingly be a source of infection for their partners.
  • Treat with oral antiprotozoal drugs; simultaneous treatment of partners is key to preventing reinfection.
  • Caution: Drinking alcohol during treatment may cause adverse reactions due to interaction with medication.

What is Trichomoniasis?

Trichomoniasis is an infection caused by a protozoan called Trichomonas vaginalis. While women are more likely to experience symptoms from vaginal infection, men often have no symptoms even if their urethra is infected, and may unknowingly spread the infection.

Symptoms


Women

Men

Main Symptoms

Foamy, yellowish-green discharge, foul odor, external genital itching and inflammation

Mild urethral itching and discomfort (often asymptomatic)

Proportion of asymptomatic cases

Some cases

Many (can easily be a source of infection for partners)

About Testing

Diagnosis is made through vaginal discharge for women and urine tests for men. If you have already tested positive at a medical institution, you can receive a prescription based on a medical interview by presenting your test results.

Treatment Method

Trichomoniasis is treated with oral antiparasitic drugs (such as metronidazole). If the partner is left untreated, reinfection can occur repeatedly, so it is important for both partners to be treated simultaneously, regardless of symptoms.

Online Treatment Process

  • ① Provisional payment and pre-medical interview: Select your desired plan and place an order.

  • ② Online consultation: The doctor will provide counseling and prescribe medication via video call.

  • ③ Same-day shipping possible: Delivered in discreet packaging.

  • ④ You can also order for your partner at the same time.

Precautions During Treatment

  • Avoid alcohol during treatment (it can cause adverse reactions due to drug interactions).

  • Refrain from sexual intercourse until treatment is complete.

  • If your partner is untreated, reinfection will occur repeatedly.

  • If you are pregnant, please inform us in advance as different medications may be used.

In these cases, we recommend an in-person consultation:

  • If accompanied by severe inflammation or bleeding.

  • If you are pregnant.

  • If symptoms do not improve after oral treatment.

Regarding Partners

Since men are often asymptomatic, if a woman is diagnosed, we strongly recommend that her partner also undergoes testing and treatment, regardless of whether they have symptoms.
