Symptoms may be worse during
pregnancy or right before or after a menstrual period. If symptoms develop, they may include:
Large amounts of pale yellow or gray-green, sometimes foamy discharge from the vagina.
Vaginal itching or irritation.
Abnormal musty or fishy odor.
Pain with sexual intercourse even if you use a lubricant such as
K-Y Jelly or
Astroglide.
Patchy red areas on the genitals or on the cervix (strawberry cervix).
Painful urination (dysuria) or
frequent urination.
Discomfort in the lower abdomen. This is not a common symptom of trich and may mean another problem is present.
In men
Men rarely have symptoms but still need treatment. If symptoms are present, they may include:
Abnormal discharge from the penis.
A burning feeling after urination.
Irritation and redness of the tip of the penis.
Trich can have symptoms similar to those of other sexually transmitted diseases such as
gonorrhea or chlamydia.
