Trichomoniasis is one of the most common types of sexually transmitted infections out there that gets diagnosed at a rate of a few thousand cases every year. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s caused by a parasite, and what makes trichomoniasis so dangerous is the fact that you don’t need to have sex with someone in order to contract it. Coming into contact with anything that an infected person has had recent genital contact with is enough to put you at risk for getting the parasite yourself, and this can include contact with linen, seats and toilet seats. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you suspect that you’ve contracted trichomoniasis, you might show some, all or none of the symptoms that appear on this list. It’s one of the conditions that can be largely asymptomatic in a great deal of the population but show disastrous symptoms for other people.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 14 common symptoms of trichomoniasis that you should watch out for.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. An Affected Immune System<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The body’s immune system responds to any signs of parasites, infections or viruses that attack the body, and it creates an immunity-response that can either mean your immune system is compromised and so busy with battling off infections that it’s unable to fight off some others at the same time. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your immune system<\/a> is affected by a condition like trichomoniasis, it’s likely that you’ll feel sicker, contract other conditions like lung infections and the flu at a much easier rate and stay sick longer than everyone else who might have had the same condition but with a stronger immunity to fend it off.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your immune system seems off, it’s likely that there’s an underlying condition causing it. If you show enough symptoms off this list, it could be trichomoniasis and it might be time to see your doctor for the right tests.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to treat, but can only be treated once it’s been adequately diagnosed. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Generalized Discomfort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Generalized discomfort is a general medical symptom that can be very hard to quantify and describe to anyone, but that you’ll definitely know when you experience it. It means that you’re just generally not feeling well, feeling off or experiencing drastic changes in your health that fall far outside of what you would consider normal.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even some asymptomatic conditions like trich will present with generalized discomfort <\/a>as one of the possible symptoms experienced, and it can be one of the most important general signs of illness that you should learn to look for in your body.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren’t feeling as well as you think you should, the first step should be to see your doctor in order to find and treat the cause. This is true even if no other symptoms on this list form part of your condition, and it might help you to find out what’s been bugging at your health over the past few weeks or months.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Cramping with No Cause<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Cramping is a very common medical symptom that means your body is generally unhappy with something. Depending on the type of cramp you experience it and where you feel it in the body it can mean a few different things \u2013 and be caused by just as many different factors. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, cramping <\/a>is related to gut or intestinal health and might just be a temporary stomach upset. It might be related to intestinal health and be a sign of something more serious than you thought at first.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes cramping is due to nutritional depletion due to a recent illness or because of hormonal changes in the body. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But cramping can also be a tip-off to have your health checked out for infections, one of which can include trichomoniasis if you show enough of the symptoms. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any cramping with no obvious cause means that something is wrong: Most causes of this are easy to treat, including parasitic infections like trichomoniasis.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sudden Weight Loss or Appetite Change<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many conditions and infections go together with sudden weight loss or appetite <\/a>changes as some of the potential symptoms that you could experience. Weight loss or appetite changes means that something is affecting your digestive system or overall health \u2013 and where you can combine some of the symptoms that appear on this list, it might be a trich infection.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take note of any sudden weight loss that you might experience or any long-term changes in your appetite. Sometimes it’s your diet or activity level causing it, but with enough symptoms combined, you need to know that it’s time to look at other less obvious causes. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way to figure out what’s really wrong with your health is to see your doctor for the proper tests. Mention if you suspect that you might have picked up a trich infection: This can make it much easier for your doctor to diagnose properly.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Pain in the Genitals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pain and cramping in the genitals don’t always mean something if it just happens once or twice, and it can be considered normal if it can be tied to hormonal changes such as a menstrual cycle<\/a>. But if you experience pain and cramping as a chronic symptom or it starts happening more regularly than you are comfortable with, make an appointment with your doctor to help find the cause.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a symptom that can be caused by more things than can be listed in the scope of just one article, but it’s also a symptom that can commonly accompany some parasitic infections and STDs such as trich.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t assume that it’s the kind of symptom that’ll go away on its own. In most cases, there’s something deeper causing it and it’s not going to go away until you’ve had the proper condition treated in the right way. Just see your doctor!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Repetitive Issues with Odor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Issues with odor is one of the most common symptoms that can be associated with sexually transmitted conditions like gonorrhea or trichomoniasis<\/a>, although it also happens to be one of the symptoms that many people are too embarrassed to mention to their doctors at first. If you have repetitive issues with odor, it’s time to see your doctor even if you don’t experience any of the other symptoms that are mentioned in this article. A few simple tests can establish what medical condition is affecting your health.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people who experience problems with odor might initially think that it’s due to their own hygiene, but this very, very rarely the case: People with hygiene that’s bad enough to trigger this kind of issue usually won’t be the same types of people that are worried about their health in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you experience odor problems, but any thoughts of embarrassment on hold and see your doctor.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Tiredness and Fatigue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fatigue <\/a>is a common general symptom that you’re likely to experience when you’re sick. There is a range of different diseases and disorders that could trigger similar tiredness or fatigue, but as a general symptom, it’ll always mean that an appointment with your doctor is in order so that you can track down the underlying cause.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you’re fatigued, it means that you’re tired far more often than you should be. It’s likely to happen even when you are getting enough sleep, and usually because of the fact that a condition is having a negative impact on the rest of your body. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you aren’t experiencing any other symptoms that are mentioned in this article, see your doctor if you experience chronic tiredness and fatigue. It can help you to track down many health conditions that are best diagnosed and treated early including trichomoniasis. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

8. Fever<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When there’s an infection or bacteria affecting the body, one of the first natural ways in which the immune system responds is by creating a fever and skyrocketing the body temperature upwards. While this is the body’s attempt to eradicate the pathogen, a fever is generally worse for the body more than it can be good \u2013 and it should be treated as an immediate physical symptom that can turn into an emergency fast if the fever resists conventional treatment with paracetamol.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a fever that isn’t responding to treatment, see your doctor for tests and proper treatment. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might be a symptom that accompanies an STD <\/a>or parasitic infections such as trich but it might also accompany a range of other conditions that have nothing to do with it, most of which are better diagnosed in the early stages of their onset.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call a doctor the moment you notice that a fever doesn’t break. Doing anything else could be fatal.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

9. Early Birth in Women<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many sexually transmitted conditions present additional risks to women while they are pregnant, and many STDs aren’t immediately diagnosed after they were contracted. This means that someone could be walking around with an STD for several weeks or months until they start to show symptoms or it shows up on a blood or urine test for something entirely unrelated.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the pregnancy <\/a>goes together with a trich infection, you could be putting your unborn child at risk of contracting the condition themselves \u2013 and there are also a lot of other additional risks involved that could negatively impact their health.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early birth in women is commonly associated with trich infection.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you suspect that you might have trich or you show some of the symptoms, see your doctor immediately; the condition can still be treated in order to minimize the risk, but you’re looking at a serious medical emergency that should be taken care of ASAP.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

10. Genital Itching<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Genital itching is one of the first generalized medical symptoms that can point towards an STD infection you didn’t know about, and these symptoms will generally show up a few weeks after exposure to the condition \u2013 and you might have already passed the condition on to other people in the meantime without realizing it. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you experience any kind of discomfort or itching<\/a>, it might be something routine like an allergy to your chosen washing powder or underwear fabric, but if switching these factors around makes no difference to the symptom, see your doctor for what might be causing it.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditions like trichomoniasis are easy to treat with the proper medication and the same is true for many other health conditions that also cause itching as a symptom. Once whatever you have has been diagnosed by your doctor, it’s reassuring for most people that treatment is easy from there. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

11. Genital Discharge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An unpleasant discharge from the genitals <\/a>is one of the first signs that you might be suffering with some type of internal infection which might be due to an STD. This might be the only symptom that you experience as a result of what you have contracted, or you might experience some of the other symptoms on this list as a consequence.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you experience genital discharge, see your doctor: It’s a serious enough symptom that it means whatever is wrong (whether trich or not) is going to need immediate treatment or you risk your symptoms getting worse. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genital discharge can be an embarrassing symptom, but embarrassment is nothing compared to the range of symptoms that you could experience if you let the wrong condition go untreated for too long.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

12. Redness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don’t experience issues with discharge or any of the typical general symptoms of an infection such as a fever, you might experience flushing  of the skin or redness (and often sensitivity of the genitals) as a result of a sexually transmitted condition.’
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, there are some cases where redness <\/a>might be one of the first symptoms or one of the last ones, and it can present as a lone symptom or be associated with a range of other ones appearing on this list (and a few further symptoms not mentioned).\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take note of any changes in your health whether or not any other symptoms are displayed. Seeing your doctor when there might be something wrong is the first step to diagnosis and treatment for most medical conditions regardless of what they might be. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redness can also sometimes accompany a spreading rash and pain where caused by certain STDs including trichomoniasis.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

13. Other Symptoms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The list of symptoms that you might experience as the result of contracting an STD can be split up into symptoms that will appear in the case of a general infection (but will also be present in the case of an STD) and then some symptoms that are more typical to STDs such as typical genital discharge found with STDs like gonorrhea <\/a>and trichomoniasis.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you’ve contracted a trich infection, you might experience a range of other symptoms not mentioned on this list including lower back pain, but you also might not: Symptoms can be very individual, and that’s why it’s recommended to make an appointment with your doctor the moment you notice that there’s anything \u201coff\u201d with your health.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These symptoms might not indicate a trichomoniasis infection, but whether they do or don’t, you’re going to need to see a doctor to find out what’s wrong and get the proper treatment.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

14. Asymptomatic in Many<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A trichomoniasis infection doesn’t always display the same symptoms for everyone, and in some cases, the infection <\/a>might not display any of the typical symptoms at all. Women are more likely to show some of the symptoms that have been mentioned in this article, but men are more likely to remain carriers of the disease while experiencing fewer symptoms (although still being able to pass the condition on to others).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trichomoniasis can be asymptomatic in many people, and you don’t have to have sex with someone to be exposed to something that had contact with genitals: Hotel linen is just one example for something that can carry trich over to a human host.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think that you might have trichomoniasis and not show any symptoms, see your doctor: You might notice that your partner shows symptoms even when you don’t, and it might mean that you both have it \u2013 but yes, there are so many different ways to contract trich that it doesn’t mean anyone had to have sex to get it.
