Trichomoniasis

The Basics | Symptoms | Detection & Treatment

What Are the Symptoms?

If you're a man, you'll probably have no symptoms, or you may experience some discomfort when urinating.

If you're a woman, you may have no symptoms at all, or you may experience:

  • A greenish yellow, frothy vaginal discharge with a pronounced odor.
  • Vaginal itching or irritation.
  • Painful intercourse.
  • Discomfort during urination.
  • In rare cases, pain in the lower abdomen.
  • Vaginal bleeding.

Call Your Doctor If:

You experience any of the symptoms listed above. Trichomoniasis is contagious and can lead to complications. Women shouldn't assume that the problem is simple inflammation of the vagina.
