Trichomoniasis test
A swab test for trichomoniasis ("trich"), a common STI caused by a tiny parasite. Results in about an hour, with treatment by our doctors if it's positive.
Symptoms
Women
Frothy, yellow-green discharge with a fishy smell, itching or soreness, pain when passing urine or during sex.
Men
Usually no symptoms. Sometimes a discharge from the penis or burning when passing urine.
Trichomoniasis isn't included in our STI packages, so ask for it separately. If you have a discharge, a high vaginal swab can check for other causes at the same time.
How the test works
A swab is taken from the vagina (women) or the urethra (men) and examined at the clinic. The result is usually ready in about an hour.
- Avoid sex, douching, vaginal creams and vaginal medicines for 24 to 48 hours before your test.
- Try not to book during your period.
If your result is positive
- It's treated with antibiotics, prescribed by our doctors at a consultation by appointment.
- Partners should be treated at the same time, or it passes back and forth.
- Avoid sex until you have both finished treatment.
- Ongoing discharge? See vaginal discharge treatment.
