Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a single-cell parasite. It affects both women and men, although symptoms are more common in women. It's the most common curable STD in young, sexually active women.

Symptoms may include

• Itching, burning and soreness of the vagina and vulva (the area outside of the vagina)
• Burning during urination
• A greenish-yellow, sometimes frothy discharge
• Elevated vaginal pH, above 5

The abnormal discharge that may occur with trichomoniasis differs in color and consistency from that experienced with bacterial vaginosis or vaginal yeast infections. For a side-by-side comparison, see our reference chart.

Treatment Options

If you believe you have Trichomoniasis, please see your doctor immediately. You may use the vH essentials Medicated Douche for temporary relief of the burning and itching symptoms until you can schedule a doctor's appointment.
