Symptoms tend to worsen after menstruation. Men are usually asymptomatic, but symptoms can include unusual penile discharge, painful urination, and tingling inside the penis. Trich can be treated and cured with antibiotics, usually a single dose of Flagyl. May result in tubal scarring, infertility, and risk of tubal pregnancy. Penetrative intercourse is not necessary.
Recent reports suggest that transmission can occur in the absence of lesions.
Sores may be hidden or overlooked. Some people also have flu-like symptoms. Many people have no symptoms but are still infected and able to transmit the virus. Also, oral-genital sex when your partner has a cold sore may cause genital herpes. Infected persons should avoid anal, oral, and vaginal intercourse while sores persist.
