Trichomoniasis Symptoms

Trichomoniasis may cause no symptoms, especially in men. Symptoms may include:

In Women:

• A foul-smelling, greenish-yellow discharge from the vagina (often in large amounts)
• Irritation, itching, and/or soreness in the vulva, perineum, and (less often) the thighs
• In severe cases, inflammation of the vulva and perineum
• Red spots on the vaginal walls and surface of the cervix
• Pregnant women who are infected with trichomoniasis may have premature or low-birth weight babies

In Men:

• Discharge from the penis (usually in the morning)
• Itching and/or irritation in the urethra and (less often) the thighs
• Pain or discomfort when urinating
• Burning sensation after ejaculation
• Men may have no symptoms, or symptoms may disappear after several weeks; however, even without symptoms, an infected man may continue to infect his sexual partners
