In this sexually transmitted infections project I choose trichomoniasis because before reading this chapter I was unfamiliar with this STI. Trichomoniasis is an STI caused by the protozoan parasite trichomoniasis vaginalis. It is not possible to diagnose trichomoniasis based on symptoms alone, but healthcare providers can examine their patient and a laboratory test will confirm the diagnosis. An estimated 3–4 million people have the infection and only about 30% develop any symptoms of trichomoniasis. Infection is more common in women than in men. In this STI project I will inform you of trichomoniasis of the symptoms, prevention, effect on Newborns, long term effects and treatment for trichomoniasis.

When signs and symptoms develop Trichomoniasis infected women symptoms may develop over time.  A clear, white, yellowish, or greenish vaginal discharge with a fishy smell. Itching, burning, redness or soreness of the genitals and discomfort when peeing. Infected women may develop pain during intercourse. Trichomoniasis may cause varies type of irritation of the female genitals and, in women, may result in a white to greenish vaginal discharge with a strong odor.

In men, trichomoniasis rarely causes symptoms. Itching or irritation inside the penis and discharge from the penis. Infected men may develop burning with urination or after ejaculation. Infected people may develop psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and substance abuse. Trichomoniasis symptoms may vary by gender and have a high risk of developing psychology disorder.

Pregnant people with trichomoniasis are more likely to have their babies early. Prolabor rupture of the membranes (PROM) and Preterm birth is how trichomoniasis affect pregnancy.  During pregnancy Lower abdominal discomfort is a less common symptom. Symptoms could start soon after you become infected or show up much later. There's no evidence that treating trichomoniasis lowers your risk of complications if you do not have any symptoms. . For this reason, only women with bothersome symptoms are tested and treated for trich during pregnancy.

Trichomoniasis also has an effect on newborn babies whose parents have trichomoniasis.  It's possible for your baby to become infected with the trich parasite during delivery, but that happens very rarely.  Also, their babies are more likely to have a low birth weight of less than 5.5 pounds. which are linked to health problems in newborns. Some of the health problem in clued cerebral trichomoniasis which lead to Brain abscesses, leukocyturia and vulvovaginitis Babies with symptoms - such as fever, respiratory problems, urinary tract infection, nasal discharge, and (in girls) vaginal discharge - can be treated with antibiotics.

Trichomoniasis can cause long term effects if untreated. A woman with untreated "trich" has a greater chance of having an infected uterus and Fallopian tubes. This infection is called pelvic inflammatory disease or PID. Untreated trich in men can cause urinary system complications. Trichomoniasis rarely causes long-term problems, although an untreated infection makes you more susceptible to getting (or spreading) HIV.

Trichomoniasis can cause long term effects if treated. Infected women may develop vaginitis, urethritis and cervicitis. Potentially leading to serious health outcomes, such as infertility. Infected people may develop varies psychiatric disorder over time than those who have never been infected by trichomoniasi. Trichomoniasis infection increases the overall risk for psychiatric disorders, urinary system complications, and infertility.

Prevention measured that can be taken for trichomoniasis includes mutually relations and safe sex. The only way to avoid STDs is to not have vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Being in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and does not have trichomoniasis. Using condoms, the right way every time you have sex. Also, talk about the potential risk of STDs before having sex with a new partner.

Treatment for trichomoniasis includes antibiotics medication taken by mouth.  If you receive and complete treatment for trich, you can still get it again. The nitroimidazoles are the only class of antimicrobials known to be effective against trichomonas infection.  Treatment reduces symptoms and signs of trichomoniasis and might reduce transmission.  This treatment is also safe for pregnant people.

In this sexually transmitted infections project I inform you of trichomoniasis. I elaborate on the different types of symptoms for both genders and the fact that this STI increased the chance of developing psychiatric disorder. For preventions measured for this STI is using condoms the right way and having open conversation with your sex partner about your sex life. Newborns have a low rate of getting infected with STI from their parents and if infected it's manageable.  Treatment for this STI is easy to acquire and manage.
