Trichomoniasis is a widespread sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. While symptoms can vary, many individuals with the parasite may not realize they are infected. One common symptom is discomfort during intercourse, which can significantly impact your well-being. The infection can persist without appropriate treatment for months; potentially leading to further complications. At our Clinic, we offer comprehensive services for diagnosing and treating trichomoniasis. So, if you suspect you may have the disorder, our doctors can provide a proper diagnosis and effective treatment.

Trichomoniasis, or “trich,” is brought on by the protozoan parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It is primarily transmitted through genital contact during sexual intercourse. In women, the infection usually affects the vagina, the urethra, or both. In men, it typically affects the urethra but may occasionally involve other parts of the reproductive tract.
Trichomoniasis is easily spread through unprotected genital contact. Nonetheless, it cannot be transmitted through non-genital physical contact, like hugging, kissing, sitting on toilet seats, or sharing dishes. It also does not pass on through sexual activity that does not involve the genitals.
