Can a female give trichomoniasis to male?

Yes, trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It can be spread through vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone infected with the parasite. Both males and females can get and transmit trichomoniasis, and it can be passed from a female to a male partner.

In men, trichomoniasis can cause symptoms such as:

- Urethritis (inflammation of the urethra)

- Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland)

- Epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis, a tube that connects the testicles to the penis)

- Burning sensation during urination

- Itching or irritation of the penis

- Discharge from the penis

However, many men with trichomoniasis do not experience any symptoms and may be unaware that they are infected. This can make it difficult to diagnose and treat the infection, and can also lead to its spread to other sexual partners.

It is important for both males and females to get tested for STIs, including trichomoniasis, if they have symptoms or have had unprotected sex with a new partner. Early diagnosis and treatment of trichomoniasis can help prevent complications and its spread to others.
