Trichomonas vaginitis, as a common gynecological condition, is often difficult to detect in its early stages, and patients may not experience noticeable symptoms. However, as the disease progresses, certain typical symptoms begin to appear. The most prominent is itching in the vulvar and vaginal areas, which is not only frequent but also intense, causing considerable discomfort to the patient. Vaginal discharge also undergoes significant changes; it often emits an unbearable foul, rotten odor that severely affects the patient's quality of life. In terms of consistency and color, the discharge may appear yellow-green or thin and purulent—characteristic signs of trichomonas vaginitis.
