Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is caused by tiny parasites infecting the vagina in women and the urethra in both men and women.
Trichomoniasis is easily passed from person to person during sex. It is not a serious condition but as it is often diagnosed with gonorrhoea, it can be a warning signal for a more serious infection.
How to recognise it
Women experience symptoms of discharge, itching and irritation but men usually have no symptoms.
How it’s treated
Treatment is with antibiotics.
