Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a parasite known as Trichomonas vaginalis. This parasite mainly targets the urinary tract in men and the reproductive tract in women. Transmission of trichomoniasis occurs through various forms of sexual contact.

Symptoms

Genital Discharge: Both men and women with trichomoniasis may experience unusual genital discharge. In women, this discharge can be frothy, yellow-green, or gray with a strong odor. Men may also have discharge from the genital area.

Genital Itching or Irritation: Itching or irritation in the genital area is another common symptom.

Pain or Discomfort: Some individuals may experience pain or discomfort during urination or sexual intercourse.

Asymptomatic Infections: It's important to note that many people with trichomoniasis do not show any symptoms, especially men.

Causes: Trichomoniasis is caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It is typically spread through sexual contact with an infected person. Transmission can occur through intercourse. In rare cases, it can also be transmitted through non-sexual means, such as sharing contaminated towels or wet clothing.

Impact:

Untreated trichomoniasis can lead to various complications, including:

Increased Risk of HIV: Trichomoniasis may increase susceptibility to HIV infection and may also increase the risk of transmitting HIV to sexual partners.

Pregnancy Complications: Pregnant women with untreated trichomoniasis may be at higher risk of preterm birth or delivering low birth weight babies.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): In women, untreated trichomoniasis can lead to PID, a serious infection of the reproductive organs that can cause infertility or chronic pelvic pain.

Increased Transmission: Individuals with untreated trichomoniasis can unknowingly transmit the infection to their sexual partners, contributing to its spread within the community.
