Trichomoniasis is common among sexually active women, but its importance as a cause of morbidity among sexually active men remains uncertain.
The article outlines areas of controversy and presents pertinent new data from case-control and natural history studies.
Trichomonas vaginalis was documented in 11% of 447 men at risk for a sexually transmitted disease. Although 54% of infected men complained of urethral discharge, the discharge was only mild or moderately severe. Elimination of Trichomonas vaginalis was associated with resolution of urethritis.
Trichomonas vaginalis is an important consideration in sexually active men with urethral symptoms or inflammation but with little or no evidence of discharge on physical examination.
滴虫病在性活跃女性中很常见，但其作为性活跃男性发病原因的重要性仍不确定。
本文概述了争议领域，并展示了病例对照研究和自然史研究的相关新数据。
在447名有性传播疾病风险的男性中，11%被检测出感染阴道毛滴虫。虽然54%的感染男性主诉有尿道分泌物，但分泌物仅为轻度或中度严重。阴道毛滴虫的清除与尿道炎的缓解相关。
对于有尿道症状或炎症但体格检查几乎没有或没有分泌物证据的性活跃男性，阴道毛滴虫是一个重要的考虑因素。
