What Are Trichomoniasis Symptoms & Treatment Options?

Understanding Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It affects both men and women, with symptoms varying between individuals. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and transmission.

Symptoms of Trichomoniasis

Common Signs

Symptoms may include vaginal or penile discharge, itching, burning during urination, and discomfort during intercourse. Some individuals may not experience symptoms, making testing important if exposed.

Asymptomatic Cases

Many infected individuals do not show symptoms but can still transmit the parasite. Regular testing is recommended for sexually active individuals.

Diagnosis of Trichomoniasis

Diagnosis involves laboratory testing of vaginal, penile, or urine samples, which can be performed remotely through lab kits or in-clinic testing. Molecular tests provide accurate detection of the parasite.

Effective Treatment Options

Antibiotics such as metronidazole or tinidazole are the standard treatment, usually given as a single dose or short course. Treatment is quick, with symptom relief often within days.
