Is trichomoniasis related to sexual activity?

Patient's question:

At the beginning of the month, the external genital area was painful. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the test report detected trichomoniasis. Does it have anything to do with sexual activity?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, trichomoniasis is an inflammation caused by the infection of Trichomonas vaginalis in the vagina. It is primarily transmitted through sexual activity, and public places can also lead to infection. Its main clinical manifestations include increased vaginal discharge, which is thin and purulent, yellow-green, foamy, and has a foul odor, along with itching at the vaginal opening and external genitalia. Treatment requires both partners to be treated simultaneously. The above is advice on this issue, and we hope it helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
