TRICHOMONIASIS
DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
Trichomoniasis is caused by a protozoa
(the smallest, single-celled members of the animal kingdom).
Trichomonas vaginalis is passed almost 100% of the time through
sexual contact. Trichomoniasis is primarily an infection of women's
vaginal and urinary tracts. A woman is most susceptible to infection
just after having completed her menstrual period. Men may carry the
organism unknowingly, since infection in men may cause mild or no
symptoms. |
