Trichomoniasis: Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Approximately 70% of females — including those with chronic infections — and most males with trichomoniasis are asymptomatic. In females, acute infection may produce variable signs, such as a gray or greenish yellow and possibly profuse and frothy, malodorous vaginal discharge. Its other effects include severe itching, redness, swelling, tenderness, dyspareunia, dysuria, urinary frequency and, occasionally, postcoital spotting, menorrhagia, or dysmenorrhea.

Such symptoms may persist for 1 week to several months and may be more pronounced just after menstruation or during pregnancy. If trichomoniasis is untreated, symptoms may subside, although T. vaginalis infection persists, possibly associated with an abnormal cytologic smear of the cervix.

In males, trichomoniasis may produce mild to severe transient urethritis, possibly with dysuria and frequency.

Trichomoniasis: DSTD (Excerpt)

Most men with trichomoniasis do not have signs or symptoms. Men with symptoms may have an irritation inside the penis, mild discharge, or slight burning after urination or ejaculation.

Many women do have signs or symptoms of infection. In these women, trichomoniasis causes a frothy, yellow-green vaginal discharge with a strong odor. The infection may also cause discomfort during intercourse and urination. Irritation and itching of the female genital area and, in rare cases, lower abdominal pain can also occur.

Vaginitis Due to Vaginal Infections, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID (Excerpt)

The symptoms in women include a heavy, yellow-green or gray vaginal discharge, discomfort during intercourse, vaginal odor, and painful urination. Irritation and itching of the female genital area, and on rare occasions, lower abdominal pain also can be present. The symptoms in men, if present, include a thin, whitish discharge from the penis and painful or difficult urination.
