Trichomoniasis (Common STI) | Causes, Symptoms & Complications (Cancer), Diagnosis, Treatment

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is caused by infection with the parasitic protozoa Trichomonas vaginalis. It is a relatively common STI, it actually being the most common non-viral STI. Infection with Trichomonas vaginalis can cause a wide variety of signs and symptoms, including vaginal discharge and vaginal odour. Trichomoniasis can also cause many complications, including reduced fertility, increased risk of other STIs and increased risk for certain cancers. In this lesson, we discuss the pathophysiology of Trichomoniasis, the signs and symptoms and why they occur, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated by clinicians.

Keep on the great work dr Oyetoro may God continue to strengthen you for helping me in beating Trichomoniasis from my system permanently thank you Dr.Oyetoro

[Jake-ufgi]

I’m male and my doctor just had me test for trich. I’ve been showing pretty much all the symptoms in men (pain when urinating, discharge, itchy urethra etc) though it’s gotten more mild and I’m just praying the tests find it. I started noticing symptoms about 39 days after I had unprotected sex

[MAGACOPP]

The biggest problem is that hospitals and clinics don’t test for it unless you ASK THEM.

[slouchingpanda]

in the context of parasitology, what does hig or low sensitivity mean?

[Nettsinthewoods]

Oooh, we are so going to have trouble when antibiotics stop working full time.

[ilciavargas]

So useful educational information for sexually active people who don't protects themselves with a condon.

[thaiota]

can a man have trich and be asymtomatic for 6 years?

[alexdakota]

is that that same cure way if your trich longs around 6months already?

[savannafields]

It’s rare but trichomoniasis can develop in non sexually active females. It’s been found in young girls and other women who have not had sex.

[Stroodle_dus_Doodles]

Always a strange day when you, an asexual, find you have multiple symptoms of smth like this. 💀💀💀

[beyondmeasure]

What’s the best treatment if neither of these treatments work? Thanks

[annp]

How many days after treatment is it normal for the discharge and irritation to continue? Its 15 days...has improved but not completelly gone....does it mean the treatment didnt work?😢

[FloraFoxx]

I'm so grateful for curing me from Trichomoniasis Dr. Oyetoro you're a savior you save my life thank you so much I really appreciate Dr Oyetoro

[JenAngel]

How long can it stay with one person without resolving? So if my husband and i have been faithful to each for at least 10 years and then one tests positive, would it be possible for it to be from a previous partner from that long ago? Or could it be from a toilet seat or pool?

[ldjt]

They are rethinking now the length of time for a course of antibiotics... a 14-day course being way too long and unnecessary, and even possibly harmful.
