Trichomonas vaginitis should not be diagnosed solely based on symptoms. Even if there are symptoms like frothy white discharge, a lab test is necessary for confirmation before treatment can proceed. Trichomonas vaginitis requires both partners to take oral medication simultaneously. Medications such as metronidazole, tinidazole, or ornidazole, which target trichomonas, are necessary. It is essential to take these medications orally; treatment cannot rely only on vaginal applications. Both partners must also sanitize all underwear either by ironing or sun exposure to prevent recurrence. (Medication should be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
