Description

Urogenital trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It primarily affects the urogenital tract, leading to symptoms such as itching, discharge, and discomfort during urination or intercourse.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to urogenital trichomoniasis using terms like 'tricomoniasis' or 'infección por tricomonas', which are common but less specific. It is crucial to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial expressions. Stick to the glossary term in clinical contexts to ensure clarity.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with urogenital trichomoniasis after presenting symptoms of discomfort and discharge.

ES: La paciente fue diagnosticada con tricomoniasis urogenital tras presentar síntomas de malestar y flujo vaginal.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with bacterial vaginosis; mispronouncing 'tricomonas'; using informal terms instead of the clinical term.
