This is the view from down there;
Trichomonas infection in the vagina
How (or why) did you get it?
Trichomonas is a sexually transmitted infection, meaning that to contract either one, you have to have had intercourse with an infected partner.
Common myth about contracting Trichomonas:
No, it is not transmitted by physical contact from a public restroom or a dirty toilet seat.
What can you do about it?
See a medical provider to get evaluated and treated, plain and simple.
If you think you might have a sexually transmitted infection; avoid sexual contact or at the very least have your partner wear a condom (which can limit the spreading of infection somewhat)
When to see a doctor?
Vaginal discharge itching occurring after sexual contact.
What to expect from your doctor?
1. A pelvic exam for visual assessment.
2. Vaginal discharge samples or swaps to be collected and sent to the lab for testing.
3. It makes sense to get tested for other sexually transmitted infections like syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and HIV.
Prescription oral or vaginal antibiotics- like metronidazole (Flagyl) is commonly used to treat Trichomonas infections.
Note: Your sexual partner(s) needs to get treated too.
