In men, the infection is often asymptomatic, but can also result in urethritis.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Route of Transmission<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nTrichomoniasis is caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis and is primarily transmitted through vaginal intercourse. The parasite infects the urethra in men and the vagina in women.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIt spreads via contact between the infected person&#8217;s genital secretions and the mucous membranes of their partner. Unprotected sex is the main risk factor.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAlthough rare, indirect transmission through towels, underwear, or bathtubs has also been suggested, but sexual contact remains the dominant route of infection.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Common Symptoms<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nWhile many cases are asymptomatic, women may experience yellow-green, frothy, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, genital itching, burning sensation, pain during intercourse, and discomfort while urinating.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMen may experience mild urethritis, discomfort during urination, and occasionally, complications such as prostatitis or epididymitis.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nEven without symptoms, individuals can still transmit the infection, so it is important that both partners undergo testing and treatment.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Testing and Diagnosis<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nDiagnosis involves either direct microscopic examination of vaginal secretions or urine to identify T. vaginalis, or PCR testing for more accurate detection.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSince its symptoms can resemble those of other STIs, proper diagnosis requires testing at a medical facility.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn men, urine or prostatic fluid samples are typically used, although detection rates tend to be lower than in women.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Treatment<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nTrichomoniasis is treated with oral antiprotozoal medications such as metronidazole or tinidazole.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nA single dose is usually effective in clearing the infection. However, to prevent reinfection, it is recommended that both partners be treated at the same time.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nBecause these medications may cause adverse reactions when combined with alcohol, patients should avoid alcohol during treatment and for at least 24 hours afterward.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Prevention<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nUsing condoms correctly and consistently is the most effective way to prevent trichomoniasis. This is especially important for individuals with multiple or new sexual partners.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nRegular STI screenings are also recommended to monitor for possible infections. If infection is detected, it is crucial to inform sexual partners promptly and ensure they are tested and treated together to avoid reinfection or further spread.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nA follow-up test is also advised to confirm complete recovery.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"yoyaku\" id=\"reserve\">\n<div class=\"title\">For Reservations and Inquiries<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<div class=\"box\">\n<div class=\"text\"><span>\\<\/span>For After-Hours Matters, Please Click Here!<span>\/<\/span><\/div>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/message\/BL6BW4ALMJK7E1\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"line_btn\">\n            Make an appointment via Whatsapp\n        <\/div>\n<p>        <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"box\">\n<div class=\"text\"><span>\\<\/span>For Urgent Matters During Clinic Hours, Please Click Here!<span>\/<span><\/div>\n<p>        <a href=\"tel:+62 21 8665 6830\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"tel_btn\">\n            +62 21 8665 6830\n        <\/div>\n<p>        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"parent":797,"menu_order":0,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opd\/983"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opd"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/opd"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opd\/797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
