The most common STI’s

Trichomoniasis is caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis (TV). In women, trichomoniasis can cause a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, genital itching and painful urination. But up to half of all people will not develop any symptoms. Men who have trichomoniasis typically have no symptoms.
