What is trichomoniasis?
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite. It is one of the most common STIs worldwide, and in many cases, infected individuals do not show symptoms, which facilitates its spread. It affects both men and women, but is more common in women.
If left untreated, trichomoniasis can increase the risk of contracting other STIs and cause complications in pregnant women.
Symptoms of Trichomoniasis: When to Get Tested?
Many people infected show no symptoms, but when they do appear, they may include:
In women:
✅ Heavy, frothy vaginal discharge that is yellow or greenish in color.
✅ Strong, unpleasant vaginal odor.
✅ Pain or burning during urination.
✅ Vaginal itching or irritation.
✅ Discomfort during sexual intercourse.
In men:
✅ Abnormal penile discharge.
✅ Burning or itching in the urethra.
✅ Pain during urination or after ejaculation.
When should you get tested?
- If you have symptoms consistent with trichomoniasis.
- If you’ve had unprotected sex.
- If your partner has been diagnosed with trichomoniasis.
- As part of a routine STI checkup.
