How do the symptoms of trichomoniasis differ for men and women, and what is the relationship between "trich" and other STIs?


Men with trichomoniasis can experience itching or irritation inside the penis, a burning sensation after urination or ejaculation, or discharge from the penis. Women may also feel itching or burning, redness or soreness of the genitals, uncomfortable urination, or an unusual discharge that can be clear, white, yellowish, or greenish. Having trichomoniasis can make sex quite uncomfortable. Without treatment, the infection can last for months or even years.
Trichomoniasis also increases the risk of getting or spreading other STIs. For example, trichomoniasis can cause genital inflammation that makes it easier to become HIV-infected or to pass the virus on to others.
