Recently, the diagnosis is rarely used because trihomonu growth is slow (2-week-1 month). Inoculation by the specialized standartbarotnēm.

Immunofluorescence test for the expensive-but they are to be used very rarely.

Differential diagnostics

Primarily by laboratory methods, differentiated from other sexually transmitted urogenital infections, as well as traumastiskiem and chemical injuries, allergic reactions, disbakteriozes, hipovitaminozes, intestinal parasites (threadworms)-induced inflammation, toksikodermijas, normal pemiga (pemphigus vulgaris).
