Trichomonal vaginitis is generally caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. Typical symptoms include an increase in vaginal discharge, which is usually thin, serous, grayish-yellow, yellow-green, or frothy. There may also be itching, burning of the vulva, and pain during intercourse. Sometimes, it can affect the urethra, leading to symptoms like painful urination and urinary urgency. Generally, a routine vaginal discharge test is needed to clarify the bacterial analysis. It is advised that patients pay more attention to local hygiene, wash the vulva more often, and try to keep the vulval area dry and clean.
