What is Trichomoniasis Testing?

Trichomoniasis testing is a simple, confidential test used to detect the presence of the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis in the genital tract. Symptoms can include itching, discharge and discomfort, but some people may not notice obvious signs. At Mayfield Clinic Ipswich, our qualified GPs guide you through the process, from test in the privacy of our private GP clinic to results and treatment options.

Why it matters

Timely testing helps prevent further irritation and reduces the risk of transmission. A positive result means we can tailor treatment to relieve symptoms quickly and provide clear advice on what to expect during recovery.

What to expect during the visit

• Private, respectful consultation with a GP
• Simple sample collection (as appropriate)
• Fast-to-communicate results and treatment planning
• Guidance on partner notification and prevention of reinfection
