滴蟲病 II Trichomoniasis II (popular name: trich)

4. 症狀是什麼？
大多數男性感染者沒有症狀，約一半女性感染者也無症狀。如果男性感染者確實有症狀的話，這些症狀可以在排尿和射精時有燒灼感和瘙癢感，甚至有陰莖流膿。女性患者可以有陰道的綠黃色、泡沫狀、有惡臭的流膿。陰道性交可能有疼痛。患有滴蟲病的孕婦有早產的危險。

5. 如何診斷？
通過從性器官觀察到不正常的膿液和在顯微鏡下檢查到滴蟲，便能夠診斷。對女性病人，採集（稱為塗抹採集）的子宮頸和陰道壁樣本同樣可以用於顯微鏡檢查。

滴蟲病的傳播和再傳播
Transmission and Re-transmission of Trichomoniasis

通過性交，男女能夠相互感染和再感染。同時，滴蟲（1）通過分裂繁殖（2），由此數量持續增加（3）
Males and females can infect and re-infect each other through sexual intercourse. In the meantime, the parasite (1) multiplies by fission (2) and thus its numbers continue to increase (3).

4. What are the symptoms?
Most of the infected males have no symptoms, and this is also true for about half of the infected females. If symptoms do appear in males, they may consist of burning and itching in the urethra during urination and orgasm, and there may even be some discharge from the penis. The symptoms in females may be a greenish or yellowish, foamy, bad-smelling discharge from the vagina. Vaginal intercourse could become painful. A pregnant woman infected with trichomoniasis runs the risk of giving birth prematurely.

5. How is it diagnosed?
Trichomoniasis is diagnosed by looking at the abnormal discharge from the sex organs and by examining a sample of it under a microscope. In females, a sample taken from the cervix and vaginal walls (a so-called pap smear) may also be used for a microscopic examination.
