Trichomonas vaginalis mnemonic

Hello!
I make lists of words so that I remember about them (especially for theory exams!)
Here's another list for Trichomonas - Key word, "TRICHOMONAS"

Towel or toilet (Can be transmitted by fomites)
Tender vaginal walls

Treat partner or else it may cause -
Recurrent infection

Itching

Creamy discharge
Can be cultured

High pH (Use vinegar douche to lower pH if woman is pregnant)

O looks like leukocytes and so do trichomonas (But motile)

Motile organism (Examined on wet film) 
Metronidazole

O looks like bubbles (For frothy discharge)

No oxygen needed so -
Anaerobic

Strawberry vagina (Multiple punctate spots)

That's all!
