# Self-Collection in Office or Patient Service Center, Trichomonas vaginalis, Vaginal Swab, NAA

> This test looks for the genetic material of Trichomonas vaginalis, a microscopic parasite that causes a common sexually transmitted infection. It helps determine if this parasite is the source of symptoms such as vaginal discharge, itching, or irritation. Identifying this specific organism helps distinguish trichomoniasis from other infections with similar signs. However, this test does not screen for other sexually transmitted diseases or bacterial causes of vaginal issues.
