Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasitic protozoan that causes trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). It’s a flagellated, anaerobic parasite that infects the urogenital tract.
Key points about Trichomonas vaginalis:
Causative Agent:Trichomonas vaginalis is the sole causative agent of trichomoniasis.
Transmission:It’s primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex.
Incubation Period:The incubation period for trichomoniasis is typically 5 to 28 days.
Symptoms:While many people are asymptomatic, symptoms in women can include vaginal discharge, itching, painful intercourse, and urinary symptoms. Men may experience urethritis, testicular pain, or penile discharge.
Treatment:Trichomoniasis is easily treated with antibiotics like metronidazole or tinidazole.
Complications:Untreated trichomoniasis can increase the risk of acquiring or transmitting other STIs, including HIV, and can also cause inflammation of the reproductive tract.
