Order Trichomoniasis Test | Trichomonas TestingTrichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, a single-celled parasitic protozoan.

About Trichomoniasis Test | Trichomonas Testing in Washington
Trichomonas testing looks for evidence of the parasite that causes trichomoniasis, an infection that can persist quietly for long periods.
Trichomonas vaginalis typically infects the lower genital tract. In women, it can cause vaginal discharge, irritation, or discomfort during urination, though a substantial share of infections cause no symptoms at all. In men, symptoms are even less common, and the infection often clears or lingers without being noticed.
The organism spreads through sexual contact, including contact with infected genital fluids. Because it does not require penetration to transmit and because symptoms are unreliable, routine testing is useful for anyone with new or multiple partners, or for anyone who wants clarity about their status.
This test uses a urine sample to detect the presence of Trichomonas. Urine testing is non-invasive and suitable for both men and women. A positive result indicates the parasite is present; a negative result means it was not detected in the sample. Follow the lab's collection instructions carefully, since proper sample handling supports an accurate result.
