What should you know about trich transmission?
Updated
Short answer
Trichomoniasis spreads mainly through sexual contact, and a person can pass it on without noticing symptoms.
This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

What it means
The infection is caused by a parasite affecting the genital area. Vaginal discharge and vaginal itching can occur, but these symptoms have other possible causes. Testing is needed, and no symptoms does not rule infection out.
What to do
Tell a clinician about a new genital symptom, a partner diagnosis, or a possible exposure. Testing can guide treatment. Avoid sexual contact until treatment is complete for everyone involved. Condoms can reduce future transmission risk.
When to seek care
Arrange prompt care for pelvic pain, fever, sores, unusual bleeding, painful urination, or symptoms during pregnancy. These signs need assessment and do not identify one diagnosis by themselves.
Questions for your doctor
Ask whether you need testing, whether current or recent partners should be assessed, and when sexual contact is safe again. Mention pregnancy, allergies, and medicines.
