Protozoan STIs

Protozoan STIs are sexually transmitted infections caused by single-celled organisms called protozoa. The most common type is Trichomoniasis, caused by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. This infection can affect both men and women, often leading to symptoms like discharge, irritation, and discomfort during urination or intercourse. Many individuals may not show symptoms, making it important to get tested if you have risk factors. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, and prevention includes safe sex practices, like using condoms. Regular screenings can help detect these infections early.
