Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dysuria, urinary frequency, and vaginal discharge are symptoms commonly associated with chlamydia, a sexually transmitted infection. Syphilis does not typically present with these symptoms, and vaginitis is a broad term referring to inflammation or infection of the vagina which can have multiple causes, including not only sexually transmitted infections, but also other factors such as an overgrowth of normal vaginal bacteria, allergic reaction, or use of certain medications. Trichomoniasis can also cause dysuria and vaginal discharge, but urinary frequency is not typically listed as a symptom of this infection.
