Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is an infection of the genitals with a germ called Trichomonas vaginalis. 

Although both men and women can be infected, women usually have more symptoms.  Common symptoms include inflammation in and around the vagina, inflamation of the urine tube (the urethra), cystitis and vaginal discharge.

Most often, trichomoniasis is passed on during sexual intercourse.  However, it is also possible for an infected mother to pass the germ on to her unborn child.
