A member asked:

Can trich affect the anus, the inside and outside ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: Trichmonas usually infects the vagina in women and the urethra - the urine tube inside the penis - in men. There are other conditions such as hemorrhoids that can affect the anus and it is best to have an exam if you are having touble.
