What is Trikomonas?

Trikomonas is an infection that occurs when protozoon called Trichomonas vaginalis settles into the urogenital system.
The parasite moves through the whips and can be recognized by this movement under a microscope in the fresh sample. In women, it is mainly located in the vagina and urinary tract, and in men, it is located in the urinary canal and prostate region.
It is considered one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the world. Carrying the infection is not a personal defect, but a treatable health condition; being tested and completing the treatment in full ensures that the process is under control.
Unprotected sexual contact: It is the most common way of transmission; condom use significantly reduces risk.
Unspecified carrier: In particular, in men, the parasite can be carried without complaint and the infection can persist unnoticed.
Moisture common items: Sharing towels or wet swimsuits can rarely mediate transmission.
Passing during childbirth: It is rare; This is where the importance of treatment comes when diagnosed in pregnancy.
No contamination is expected from environments such as toilet seats, pools or seawater; The parasite cannot survive for long outside the body.
The reason for the importance of this infection is not only the discomfort it creates. When left untreated, it can create an inflammatory ground in the tissue in the vagina and cervix, facilitating the passage of other sexually transmitted factors.
In pregnancy, it is associated with conditions that can affect the time of birth, so it is recommended to evaluate even if the complaint appears mild.
Diagnosis and Symptoms of Tricomonas

The findings vary from person to person. Some people have no complaints, while others have discharges and itching reaching a level that will force daily life. Complaints usually appear between a few days and a month after transmission.

The spontaneous reduction of complaints does not mean that the infection has passed. Without medication, the parasite may continue to remain in the body and after a while, the findings may become apparent again.
When the color or smell of the discharge changes, when the itching does not go away in a few days and burns are added while urinating, it is necessary not to wait for examination.
The same is true for people who have had similar complaints in their partner or who have recently had unprotected relationships.In cases of non-complaint, diagnosis is often made during routine check-up.
Diagnostic Methods in Samsun
The diagnosis begins with a gynecological examination. In the examination, the properties of the discharge are evaluated and sampled from the vagina. For example, its examination with a microscope will soon yield results if the moving parasite is seen.

These tests are highly sensitive methods, and results usually reach within a few days. Vaginal pH measurement and culture also contribute to evaluation when needed.
When the parasite is detected, screening is also recommended for other sexually transmitted infections that can be seen together. This assessment is conducted in licensed health institutions of the Ministry of Health and is planned according to the person's story.
