Trichomoniasis is a sexual trasmitted disease
caused by a parasite. It affects both women and men, but symptoms are
more common in women. Symptoms in women include a green or yellow
discharge from the vagina, itching in or near the vagina and discomfort
with urination. Most men with trichomoniasis don't have any symptoms,
but it can cause irritation inside the penis.
You can cure trichomoniasis with antibiotics. In men, the infection usually goes away on its own without causing symptoms. But an infected man can continue to infect or reinfect a woman until he gets treated. So it's important that both partners get treated at the same time. Correct usage of latex condoms greatly reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading trichomoniasis.

Trichomoniasis is considered the most common curable STD. In the United
States, an estimated 3.7 million people have the infection, but only
about 30% develop any symptoms of trichomoniasis. Infection is more
common in women than in men, and older women are more likely than
younger women to have been infected.
