What are the inspection items for trichomonal vaginitis?

 Inspection items: gynecological examination, leucorrhea routine

  1. The easiest way to check vaginal secretions is the saline drop method. Under the microscope, we can see trichomonas moving in a wave-like motion and increased white blood cells being moved. The sensitivity of this method is 60% to 70%.

  2. The training accuracy is about 98%. Avoid sexual intercourse, vaginal lavage or topical medication 24 to 48 hours before taking the secretion. Do not apply lubricant to the speculum when taking the secretion. Send the secretion for inspection and keep warm after taking it out, otherwise the activity of trichomonas will be weakened and it will be difficult to identify. .

  3. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used for the diagnosis of trichomoniasis, with a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 99.8%.

  4. Routine urine and blood routine examinations.
