A relatively common and chronic disease of the female characterized by vaginitis and a rather profuse, yellowish discharge. In the male, the disease usually infects the prostate, seminal vesicles, and urethra. It is caused by the protozoan, Trichomonas vaginalis.
Infestation of the intestine or vagina with Trichomonas.
Infection of the vagina (occasionally the urethra in males) caused by the Trichomonas vaginalis protozoan and characterized by a foul-smelling, pale yellowish vaginal discharge, burning, and itching. Treatment is by the antimicrobial metronidazole, usually given orally.
A sexually transmitted disease (infection) caused by the protozoa Trichomonas vaginalis, which may cause a variety of genital symptoms. It may also be present without any symptoms.
One of the common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), which causes a vaginal infection in women. Trichomoniasis can be transmitted to and from men by sexual contact. The infection can affect a man’s urethra, usually without symptoms, and can be spread to other women via sexual intercourse. A woman who is pregnant can transmit the infection to her newborn during childbirth.
An infection of the digestive system by the protozoan Trichomonas hominis, causing dysentery.
Infestation with a parasite of the genus Trichomonas.
A sexually transmitted protozoan infection of the urinary tract or vagina.
An infection induced by the protozoan microorganism TRICHOMONAS VAGINALIS. Trichomoniasis stands as a prevalent factor contributing to vaginitis (vaginal inflammation) among women. Typically, this infection is transmitted through sexual contact. Trichomoniasis is less frequent among men, affecting primarily the urethra.
Among women, the responsible organism can reside within the vagina for extended periods without triggering symptoms. However, if symptoms manifest, they can entail distressing inflammation of the vagina and vulva, alongside a discharge that appears greenish, frothy, and emits a foul odor. Sexual intercourse might induce pain. In contrast, men typically experience no symptoms, although some might experience discomfort during urination.
The diagnosis is established by examining a sample of the discharge. However, confirming the diagnosis is typically challenging in men.
The prescribed treatment involves using metronidazole. It’s important that the sexual partner or partners of an infected individual receive treatment simultaneously to prevent the risk of reinfection.
Experiencing an assault from Trichomonas genus species.
