The trichomoniasis is a very common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the infection transmitted by the protozoan parasite called the Trichomonas vaginalis. Symptoms of the disease can vary, and most men and women who have the parasite do not know they are infected.
Trichomoniasis is considered to be the most common curable sexually transmitted disease. In the United States, an estimated 3.7 million people have the infection, but only about 30% have any symptoms. It is more common in women than in men, and older women are more likely than younger women to have the infection.
