What Is Trichomoniasis?

Trichomonas vaginalis parasite seen in stained microscopic slide showing cellular structure.

Trichomoniasis is a curable parasitic sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis, which spreads through the exchange of genital fluids during unprotected sexual activity.

This infection can affect both men and women but is more commonly diagnosed in women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were an estimated 156 million new cases worldwide in people aged 15 to 49 in 2020, making it one of the most widespread non-viral STIs.

What Causes Trichomoniasis?

Trichomoniasis primarily spreads through unprotected sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected partner. Trichomonas vaginalis lives in the genital tract and can be transmitted even when no symptoms are present.

The risk of transmission increases when protective measures such as condoms are not used consistently.

What Are Symptoms of Trichomoniasis?

Trichomoniasis often presents with more noticeable symptoms in women, while some individuals may remain asymptomatic for extended periods. Common signs include:

Frothy yellow-green vaginal discharge with a strong or unpleasant odour
Pain or burning during urination or sexual intercourse
Vaginal itching or irritation, often accompanied by redness or swelling
Lower abdominal discomfort or cramping

Symptoms may also fluctuate or worsen during menstruation.

How Fast Does Trichomoniasis Show Up?

Symptoms of trichomoniasis can develop between 5 to 28 days after exposure, although many individuals remain asymptomatic for extended periods.

In some cases, the infection can persist for months or even years without obvious signs, increasing the risk of unknowingly transmitting it to sexual partners.

What Are Complications of Untreated Trichomoniasis?

Untreated trichomoniasis can lead to serious health complications, especially for women, by increasing the risk of reproductive issues and other infections. This can include:

Increased risk of other STIs – Inflammation caused by trichomoniasis can make it easier for viruses like HIV to enter the body.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) – This condition can affect the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, potentially leading to infertility if left untreated.
Pregnancy complications – Pregnant women with untreated trichomoniasis face a higher risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, and other adverse outcomes.

How to Test for Trichomoniasis?

Testing for trichomoniasis typically involves a vaginal swab or urine sample to detect the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis. The process is minimally invasive, generally quick, and causes little to no discomfort.

How Is Trichomoniasis Treated?

Trichomoniasis is a curable infection and is typically treated with oral antibiotics. The dosage and duration may vary depending on the severity of the infection and individual health conditions.

It is important to complete the entire course of medication, even if symptoms improve early, to ensure the infection is fully cleared and to prevent reinfection or transmission to others.
