Answer 1

Trichomoniasis is infection of the vagina or male genital tract with Trichomonas vaginalis. It can be asymptomatic or produce urethritis, vaginitis, or occasionally cystitis, epididymitis, or prostatitis. Diagnosis is by microscopic examination of vaginal or prostatic secretions or by urethral culture. Patients and sexual contacts are treated with metronidazole. (Merck)
Trichomoniasis (STD) Incubation Period: If symptoms appear, it usually takes from 3 to 28 days for them to develop. A treatable bacterial infection of male urethra & female pelvis. A watery, greyish, yellowish, or greenish bubbly discharge (may become thicker)
An unpleasant odor.
Pain and itching when urinating.
Most apparent after your period.
Treatment: Antibiotics - Metronidazole 500mg 2-3 times a day for 7-10 days. It is especially important that both partners are treated at the same time because an infected man, even a man who has never had symptoms or whose symptoms have stopped, can continue to infect a female partner until he has been treated. Anyone being treated for trichomoniasis should avoid sex until they and their sex partners have completed the treatment.
Testing: A medical provider will take a swab of fluid from a male's urethra or from a female's vagina and will examine it under a microscope to see if trichomoniasis is present.

Bacterial vaginosis is vaginitis due to a complex alteration of vaginal flora in which lactobacilli are decreased and anaerobic pathogens overgrow. Symptoms include a gray, thin, fishy-smelling vaginal discharge and itching. Diagnosis is clinical and by testing of vaginal secretions. Treatment is usually with oral or topical metronidazole or topical clindamycin. (Merck)
Bacterial Vaginosis- Incubation period: Anywhere from 12 hours to five days. Vaginal infection. Fluids may be foamy or frothy (heavier than usual)
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge.
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap.
Itching and burning.
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina and vulva
Treatment of bacterial vaginosis: Antibiotics - Metronidazole 500mg 2-3 times a day for 7-10 days
Testing for bacterial vaginosis: Your doctor may take a sample of a cervical or vaginal discharge for laboratory analysis

Answer 2

The fist thing you do is get tested for CLAMYDIA. In women, there are NO SYMPTOMS usually other than a slight discharge and smell for a day or 2 and then stops discharging and continues to reap havoc on your ovary and tubes. It's the SILENT KILLER of repo systems. Let your boyfriend or partner that you are positive for it and they by law must be tested for it and treated. The doctor should give you some antibiotics to help clear it up, he may send you for an ultrasound to see if there's damage (usually occurs over years and not days or weeks) I have one tube and one ovary since I lost my right side of my repo system at 13 to a tumour. I got Clamydia from my boyfriend who had a one night stand with someone else, so I didn't find out for a couple months. I was placed on 2 antibiotics and after beng retested, it cleared up. I had NO problems getting pregnant with 1 ovary, 1 tube, and past Clamydia. Do not stess about it. Treat it. Test it. Live Life to the Fullest. Always be fully aware of the color of all discharge so you know ANY OTHER COLOR THAN WHITE/PINK is cause for concern.

Answer 3

you might have an infection, it most likely wont be an STD but an STI (sexually transmitted infection) which can be cleared up by keeping clean and anti biotics. if u r a virgin n this is the case it might juz be ann infection that is caught from public places e.g. a toilet seat. another suggestion what it cud be is that the soap that you are using isnt agreeing with your viginal area, the soap might be too acidic, try using a soap with more of an alcline base...'femfresh' is a good soap. you can get that from any superdrug store or supermarket in the smelly department (smelly meaning soaps tooth paste gels etc. lol)

good luck, if you do try all of this and results are the same the best thing to do is get a check up with ur local/clinic nurse. no 1 will know since it is 100% confedential, your parents cant find out unless they are the nurse lol. and all information is kept between you and the nurse.

good luck, i know how you feel...dont worry about it... :o)

Answer 4

Could be bacterial vaginosis which is similar to thrush except the discharge is coloured and smelly. You need to have a swab taken at the drs- if it is that then they'll give you antibiotics. Get it looked at though because things can go upwards and cause worse problems than a smelly discharge.

Answer 5

It could be bacterial vaginosis (BV). Like thrush, it's not an STD and the causes aren't certain, but it's a really common problem, even more so than thrush. Thrush discharge usually doesn't smell, if it does it's kind of yeasty. BV discharge smells kind of fishy.

Get it checked out to be sure, as BV needs medication that you can't buy without a prescription. You can find out more about it here: http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/23068687/

Answer 6

That doesn't sound like thrush. Diagnosis of a PV discharge however in not of course possible under these circumstances.

Arrange to see a doctor for assessment and a swab. If you have either fever or abdominal pain do this as a matter of urgency!

Answer 7

Hi, yes something to see the doctor about, could be an STD or just some type of infection.

Answer 8

It could be a yeast infection f it has a fishy sort of smell, get yourself down the doctors for an examination, they will be able to determine what it is and what tretment you have to use to clear it up

Answer 9

It could be anything from gonorrhea, chlamydia, yeast infection to an infection only a doctor can diagnosed and treat it
Good luck

Answer 10

it can be a form of a yeast infection, it is important to go ahead and go to the gyno, or atleast dr. rather than trying over the counter stuff like monastat because it could be something besides a yeast infection.
