Answer by  worker2390 (32)

If your son is an infant, it may be from childbirth (passed on by the mother). If your son is a young child, it may be a sign of sexual abuse. If you son is a teenager it may simply be a sign of sexual activity or even sexual abuse.

I think the doctor said "trichinosis. " Trichomoniasis, which is the disease caused by trichomonas, primarily affects the vagina, so your son probably doesn't have it. Trichinosis, on the other hand, is a parasitic roundworm infection that usually comes from eating undercooked pork or wild game.
