What is Trichomoniasis? 

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a microorganism (a protozoa) called Trichomonas vaginalis. Symptoms often get worse after periods. Although the organism is present in the urinary tracts of men, it is usually the women who get the infection. Its symptoms are not very different from BV, except that the discharge in this case is musty smelling and green or yellowish in color. Like in other STDs, both partners must be treated simultaneously with oral antibiotics for Trichomoniasis. Pregnant women who contract Trich, must seek medical attention immediately as an infection can harm the fetus and complicate labor.
