Trichomonas Vaginalis or more commonly known as trich is a sexually transmitted disease only present in women. This is a highly contagious disease that even a direct contact can infect one with it. Trich is normally present in a woman’s vagina, intestines, and rectum without causing problems. A trich infection, or overgrowth, is difficult to detect and harder still to kill.
Trich shows symptoms such as thin, foamy, itchy vaginal discharge. They are often yellowish or gray in color with a foul or fishy odor. Trich can move from the vagina into the urethra and up into the bladder, leading to a urinary tract infection. This can create a more serious health complication if left untreated. There may not be visible physical signs of infection. However, if one sees any abnormalities happening in the genital area, then it is time to consult a doctor.
Like any other sexually transmitted diseases, this may only be confirmed by taking an STD test. Though this is not as dangerous compared to the other STDs, it still requires treatment and medication. Trich is just one of those STDs that can be cured along with Chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea. Antibiotics may be given for treatment for trich. Medications may be to completely eliminate the bacteria that infect the patient.
Others may also be advised to use herbal medications. These may also have healing actions on the infection. Examples of these are powdered charcoal which drowns the parasite. Oak bark and alkaloid berberine sulfate are used as an antimicrobial agent. However, these should be first be consulted with the doctor to make sure it will not cause any complications with the treatment one is undergoing.
To confirm that it is really trich, one may take an STD test. Local STD testing is done in hospitals or health sites in your place. There is lots of STD testing clinics sited all around U.S. And if the thought of taking an STD test is making one feel embarrassed or hesitant, then a private STD testing may done to make sure that his or her privacy will be protected.
