Is Trichomoniasis Curable?

Yes, Trichomoniasis is one of the most common curable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), according to the CDC.¹ It is caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It is important to note that many people with trichomoniasis do not have any symptoms, but they can still pass the infection to their partners. If someone does develop symptoms, they may include:²

-Burning or discomfort during urination

-Vaginal discharge that is yellow, green, or frothy

-Redness and itching of the vagina or penis

-Painful sex                                                                                                                                   

The best way to prevent trichomoniasis is to practice safe sex. This includes using condoms or other barrier methods every time you have sex.2 If you think you may have trichomoniasis, it is important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Trichomoniasis is easily treated with antibiotics. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics, even if your symptoms go away.
