Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite trichomonas vaginalis, often leading to frothy, yellow green vaginal discharge with a foul odor in women. Many men and some women may be asymptomatic, unknowingly spreading the infection through sexual contact. If untreated, trichomoniasis can increase the risk of HIV transmission and cause pregnancy complications like premature labor. Diagnosis involves examining vaginal fluid or urine samples under a microscope. Treatment is typically a single dose of antibiotics, requiring both partners to be treated to prevent reinfection.
