2. What exactly is Trichomoniasis?
Trichomoniasis is one of the most widespread sexually transmitted diseases affecting both men and women. This parasite is more likely to cause symptoms in women than in males. It is commonly referred to as vaginitis in females. This is caused by vaginal inflammation. It is commonly known as urethritis in men and causes itching, burning, and discomfort in the urethra or penis.
Trichomoniasis is frequently accompanied by itching, pain, and heat in the vagina. In addition, women frequently experience a discharge that is yellowish-green and smells fishy. Typically, a person with trichomoniasis will exhibit no symptoms, which is why this infection is so easily and rapidly transmitted. Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection induced by a parasite. Typically, the parasite is transmitted through oral, vaginal, or anal intercourse. If one partner has the parasite in their sexual fluids, they can readily transmit it to the other.
