Taking responsibility for your reproductive health is important. The Trichomonas Vaginalis DMP analysis is an important step in maintaining your health. If you have symptoms or suspect an infection, consult your doctor, and together we will work on your well-being and infection prevention. IntroLab in Belgrade is here to provide you with the highest quality service and support in diagnosing and treating reproductive infections. Your health is our priority.

When and why is the trichomonas vaginalis DMP analysis performed?

The trichomonas vaginalis DMP analysis is typically performed when symptoms of infection are present, including:

  • itching
  • burning sensation
  • unusual vaginal discharge
  • discomfort during urination

However, some individuals may carry the infection without displaying symptoms. The analysis can also be recommended during routine gynecological exams or when an infection is suspected.

What is trichomonas vaginalis?

Trichomonas vaginalis is a single-celled microorganism that can cause a genital tract infection known as trichomoniasis. This infection commonly affects women, but it can also occur in men.

How is it transmitted?

Trichomonas vaginalis is typically transmitted through sexual contact, meaning the infection is spread during vaginal, oral, or anal sex with an infected person. In addition to sexual contact, the infection can also be transmitted by sharing contaminated items, such as towels, bedding, or personal hygiene items, with an infected individual.

Using condoms during sexual activity can reduce the risk of transmission, but it does not completely eliminate it. It is important for sexually active individuals to get tested regularly and monitor their reproductive health to detect and treat infections promptly.

Treatment of the infection

Trichomoniasis is typically treated with antibiotics prescribed by a doctor. It is important to follow the doctor’s instructions and complete the entire treatment to prevent reinfection and ensure full recovery.

Preparation for the trichomonas vaginalis DMP test

No special preparation is required for this test. It is important to inform your doctor of any medications you are currently taking or any allergies you may have.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Trichomonas vaginalis test cost and when is the result ready?

The Trichomonas Vaginalis DMP test costs 700 RSD at IntroLab laboratory, and the result is ready in 1 day. The sample is a swab of vaginal secretion or urethral discharge, so the test can be done in both women and men. If the doctor requests PCR testing from a swab, urine, ejaculate or prostate secretion, IntroLab laboratory also offers a Trichomonas vaginalis test that costs 3,000 RSD, with results in 48–72 hours.

Is Trichomonas a bacterium?

No, Trichomonas vaginalis is not a bacterium but a single-celled parasite from the protozoa group that causes a genital tract infection known as trichomoniasis. The infection is most often spread through sexual contact; it affects women more often but also occurs in men, and some people are carriers without symptoms. The Trichomonas Vaginalis DMP test at IntroLab laboratory detects the parasite in a swab of vaginal secretion or urethral discharge.

What symptoms point to a Trichomonas infection?

A Trichomonas infection most often causes itching and burning, unusual vaginal discharge and discomfort during urination. The infection can also be symptomless, so the Trichomonas Vaginalis DMP test is also recommended during routine gynecological exams or when a partner has the infection. At IntroLab laboratory the result is ready in 1 day, and if therapy is needed, it is prescribed by a doctor.
