Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection that is caused by a tiny parasite called trichomonas vaginalis. It is most common in women, although men who contract trichomoniasis can pass it on to their female partners.
Symptoms of trichomoniasis may not present themselves straight away, but when they do, women can experience painful urination, genital burning or itching and unpleasant smelling vaginal discharge. Men will often not have symptoms, but as the parasite affects the urethra, men may experience pain when peeing, or soreness and redness in the head of the penis.
Treatment for trichomoniasis is usually a course of an oral antibiotics called metronidazole, as the infection is not likely to go away on its own. It is important to take the entire course as prescribed by your doctor to ensure that the infection is cured and does not reoccur.
