Trichomoniasis and Candidiasis
Trichomonas [5] is a common STD that is sometimes referred to as “trich” for short. Trichomonas vaginalis, a parasite infection, is the reason. Approximately 2 million Americans contracted the virus in 2018, according to the most recent CDC data.
You can get trich if you have intercourse with an infected partner without using a condom. Trichomoniasis can increase the risk of spreading other STDs, including HIV. Pregnant women are at risk of premature or underweight babies.
Candidiasis [6] is a fungal infection that affects three out of every four women at some point in their life. Vaginal sex is the means of transmission for this yeast infection, which frequently returns. It is simple to diagnose and treat candidiasis. Using a cotton swab, a quick physical examination of the vaginal region is performed to check for yeast infections.
