Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoa. Look for yellow-green discharge, bubbly, frothy, motile flagella, and a pH > 4.5. This can be intensely pruritic. A classic sign is a strawberry cervix. Treat with one dose of metro­ni­da­zole. It can also cause nongonococcal urethritis.
MNEMONIC: Imagine two girls having this conversation: “Can you believe that dirty old man TRICKED MONA, our favorite BUBBLY stripper, into putting a STRAWBERRY into her va-jay-jay?!? Gross! I heard it still had a long green STEM on it!” Sorry for the gross mnemonic, but hopefully it helps you associate the stem with the motile TAIL/FLAGELLA of Trichomonas.
