What is trichomoniasis and how can you get it?
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can be caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. The parasite is found in the urine and genital secretions of women and men. It is most commonly spread through sexual contact, but it can also be passed through contact with objects that have been contaminated with the parasite's excrement. Trichomoniasis can cause symptoms such as itching, discharge, or pain during sex. It can also lead to infertility in women and decreased libido in men. Treatment for trichomoniasis includes antibiotics and sometimes surgery.
