Its everything the person that answered first copied from the internet........
I didnt read the whole thing so I dont know if this tidbit of info was given but its NOT ONLY a sexually transmitted disease.......
You can ALSO catch this from sitting on a toilet if someone sat there previously that had the disease...........
ALWAYS USE PROTECTIVE SEATS WHEN USING A FOREIGN TOILET OR LOTS AND LOTS OF TISSUE TO COVER IF YOU ARENT GOOD WITH YOUR BALANCE OR AIM FOR SQUATTING............
AND DO NOT WIPE BACK TO FRONT THAT CAUSES IT .....USUALLY ITS THE BOOTY JUICE GETTIN INTO THE COO..........

Trichomoniasis is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, a single cell protozoan parasite with a whip-like tail that it uses to propel itself through vaginal and urethral mucus. This sexually-transmitted disease (STD) is found worldwide.
In the United States the highest incidence is in women between 16 and 35 years of age. This disease-causing protozoan cannot survive in the mouth or rectum, and therefore must be transmitted through penis-to-vagina intercourse or vulva-to-vulva contact with an infected partner.
The symptoms of the disease are quite different in men than in women.
In men, the infection is often without symptoms (asymptomatic), and clears spontaneously in a few weeks. Symptomatic men may experience a mild urethral itching or discharge, mild burning after urination or ejaculation, and, on occasion, may develop prostatitis or epididymitis from the infection.
Women develop a frothy, foul smelling, green-white or yellowish vaginal discharge. The volume of discharge may be large. Itching may occur on the labia and inner thighs and the labia may appear swollen.
Data on the incidence and prevalence of trichomoniasis is not as complete as that for gonorrhea and syphilis. Figures suggest that it is a frequently encountered infection. More than half of all females with gonorrhea also have trichomonas. Frequently, individuals with one diagnosed STD have one or more additional sexually-transmitted infections.

Trichomoniasis (trichomonas) is what you are thinking of. It causes a minor irritation of the genitals of women, and usually results in no symptoms to men.
Compared with the seriousness of other sexually transmitted diseases, trichomonas is minor. The treatment, though, is a few days of pills- BE SURE NOT TO TAKE THEM WITH ALCOHOL- YOU CAN GET VERY SICK THAT WAY. There are some home remedies like vinegar douches and acidophilus that might help.
