The typical shape is pear shaped or oval, the size is 9.7 (4.5-19) μ m × 7 (2.5-12.5) μ M. The four flagella at the front end of the flagellum swing forward and move in a spiral way with the action of fluctuating membrane wave.

Finally, Trichomonas vaginalis is suitable to grow in the humid environment with temperature of 25-40 ℃ and pH of 5.2-6.6, but not in the environment with pH below 5 or above 7.5.
