What is Trichomoniasis?
In a woman a Trichomoniasis (trich) infection occurs in the vagina. It often causes itching, burning and a heavy discharge. The Trichomonas germ passes between men and women during sex. Most men who carry the Trichomonas germ have no symptoms, and the only way he will find out if he has the germ is if his female sex partner tells him. A woman can be infected again if her sex partner(s) are not treated.
