Trichomoniasis is a common, often symptomless sexually transmitted infection (STI), which can cause painful urination, yellow-gray or green vaginal discharge, redness, and itchy, burning, genitals in some people. Abstaining from sex can prevent STIs, and practicing safe sex can reduce transmission risk if you’re sexually active. A pill can treat the infection.
