ABSTRACT: Background: Trichomoniasis is a common Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)
and the most common curable one. Methodology: This was cross sectional,
prospective, total coverage hospital based study. It aimed to determine the
incidence, risk factors of the Trichomoniasis among the laboring Sudanese women
at Omdurman New Hospital Khartoum-Sudan, from September 2012 to April 2013. Data
were obtained, entered and analyzed using soft word package program for social
science (SPSS) version 17. Results: The prevalence of Trichomoniasis is 6.8%.
It was found that the awareness about the infection is very low only 35%.
Diabetes and history of sexual transmitted infections are the risks seen among
the study cases. Preterm labor was seen significantly. Conclusion: Syndromic
management of all women with abnormal vaginal discharge is important since it
causes reproductive morbidity.
