What is Trichomoniasis?
Trichomoniasis is a common STI caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. This infection is particularly common among women, although men can be carriers and sometimes experience symptoms.
It is transmitted during sexual contact, and many infected individuals may not notice any signs, which increases the likelihood of spreading the infection unknowingly. Even asymptomatic individuals should consider getting tested if at risk.
Symptoms in women can include vaginal itching, burning during urination, and an unusual discharge with a strong odor. Men, on the other hand, might experience irritation inside the penis or a mild discharge. A simple test during a routine check-up can diagnose the infection.
The condition is easily treated with a course of antibiotics, usually a single dose of medication. Treating sexual partners at the same time is important to prevent re-infection and further spread of the parasite.
