Characteristics of a patient with trichomoniasis:
1. Symptoms may include vaginal itching, burning, and a frothy, yellow-green vaginal discharge.
2. Men with trichomoniasis may experience itching or irritation inside the penis, burning after urination or ejaculation, or discharge from the penis.
3. Some individuals with trichomoniasis may be asymptomatic.
4. Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis.
5. It is commonly spread through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex.
6. Trichomoniasis can be diagnosed through a physical exam, laboratory testing of vaginal or penile discharge, or urine testing.
Complications of gonorrhea in females:
1. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): Gonorrhea can lead to PID, a serious infection of the female reproductive organs that can cause infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and ectopic pregnancy.
2. Infertility: Untreated gonorrhea can cause scarring and damage to the fallopian tubes, leading to infertility.
3. Increased risk of HIV transmission: Gonorrhea can increase the risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV.
4. Disseminated gonococcal infection: In rare cases, gonorrhea can spread to other parts of the body, causing joint pain, skin lesions, and fever.
5. Pregnancy complications: Gonorrhea can increase the risk of premature birth, low birth weight, and neonatal infection if passed to the baby during delivery.
6. Chronic pelvic pain: Gonorrhea can cause chronic pelvic pain and discomfort in some women, even after treatment.
