What Is Trichomoniasis?

Trichomoniasis (often called “trich”) is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It is one of the most common curable STIs worldwide, yet it frequently goes undiagnosed because many people have mild or no symptoms.

Trichomoniasis primarily affects the vagina and urethra, but it can also infect the penis. When diagnosed, it is easily treated with prescription medication.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more common than you might think, affecting millions of people every year. They’re usually spread through sexual contact, but some can also be passed from a mother to her baby during childbirth or through blood.

STIs, like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis, often share similar symptoms—things like unusual discharge, pain when you pee, or itching. This makes it difficult to tell which one you might have just based on symptoms alone. While a doctor is your best resource for accurate guidance, we’ll break down the main differences between chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis in the sections below.
