Parasitic STIs
Parasitic STIs are infections caused by parasites, tiny organisms that live on or in a host, often resulting in disease. Common examples include trichomoniasis, which is caused by a microscopic parasite and can affect both men and women. Symptoms may include itching, irritation, and unusual discharge. These infections are typically transmitted through sexual contact. While many can be effectively treated with medication, they can lead to complications if left untreated. Practicing safe sex and getting regular check-ups can help prevent the spread of these infections.
