Hello,
This kind of yellowish discharge can be present in bacterial vaginosis or STD’s like trichomoniasis. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal odor and discharge. In addition to unpleasant "fishy" vaginal odor, thin white or yellowish discharge from vagina may also be present. Diagnosis can be confirmed after pelvic examination and microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge. Treatment is by metronidazole and clindamycin.
Treatment is by metronidazole((Flagyl, MetroGel) and clindamycin (Cleocin).They are available as pills or vaginal gels or creams. Please do not use any vaginal douches.

t seem to have problems with doxycycline, amoxicillin or clindamycin. Clindamycin destroys my stomach though. I avoid cipro and zithromax.
Its been 2 months and I have no signs or symptoms. Im very nervous and I know Trichomoniasis can live outside the body for a long time. So hears my questions listed below:
1. Is it possible that I may have transmitted Trichomoniasis to girl B with this episode?
2. on the CDC it states condoms protect against Trichomoniasis, but only the part of the skin that its covered. Does this mean condoms don't protect against Trichomoniasis? Could you please let me know what this means?

Alternatively, you can take clindamycin for the bv and drink a boat load of cranberry juice for the UTI and water of course. It will take longer to clear up the UTI but it should work. It did for me in a pinch. It just took a couple of extra days. Of course if you are diabetic you can't.
I recently about a month ago went to have a pap smear aND they took a urine sample and I had tested negative for trichomoniasis. I ve been having symptoms for trichomoniasis for probley about 6 months. Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year and strated having sex 7 months ago.

Hello,
This itching and discharge can be due to bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis. Discharge in BV is thin and grey discharge with a fishy smell. Trichomoniasis is (caused by a protozoan (a kind of parasite) called Trichomonas vaginalis. This parasite is transmitted during sex.The characteristic symptom of trichomoniasis infection is a heavy, frothy, yellow-green, fishy-smelling discharge from the vagina.
I scheduled an appointment and also tested positive for trichomoniasis but with no symptoms. He also was tested for trichomoniasis and his results were negative. Is this possible and how?
has given me 10 days of clindamycin to be taken 3 times a day at a dose of 450 mgs. this is fine, i can take clindamycin with no ill effects.
HOWEVER, i have read that this drug is not commonly used to treat std's as there are so many better options. Is clindamycin going to work??? Thanks.
I had sex with a woman off tender and mid way the condom rolled up halfway but i rolled it down and my head and urethra were covered. I may have gotten her fluids on my bass but that's it. Is it possible i got a std like gonorrhea or chlamydia or trichomoniasis from this encounter?

heat bag extraorally, and warm salt water intraorally) may help reducing the severity and duration of the condition and i recommend that u stop the clindamycin as the course is usually only one week also,long duration of clindamycin usually causes git problems
It is diagnosed by pelvic examination, swabs of the discharge and their culture sensitivity

For both men and women, a health care provider must perform a physical examination and laboratory test to diagnose trichomoniasis. The parasite is harder to detect in men than in women. In women, a pelvic examination can reveal small red ulcerations (sores) on the vaginal wall or cervix.
So it can be misdiagnosed.
And when would be the best time (window period) to test for trichomoniasis or to check for the symptoms for crabs, scabies and trichomoniasis? I cannot remember exactly when I bought and used the towel and underwears. Should be around 4-5 weeks ago since I used the last piece of the underwear (I did not wash any of them). I have no apparent symptoms to-date.

Two weeks after I had sexual contact I began having itchiness on my vulva. And then a few days later, I began having purulent discharge it's whit to yellow consistency and there's a lot almost like milk. I went to see an OB GYN for pelvic exam and lab test. I had pelvic pain same when you have period cramps. Inflamed vulva and cervix. The doctor suspected bacterial infection and gave me antibiotics "doxycycline" twice a day for one week and clindamycin once a day for a week.
Symptoms continued after 3 days and I went for an in person visit and got treated for chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea. I took a shot of ceftriaxzone and a does of azithromycin and metronidizole. My test for chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea came back negative and 3 days later my symptoms persisted. I went back and was tested for the same again, as well as a urine culture- tested negative and no growth. I was given Doxycycline and taking for 3 days. Still having symptoms.
i had uprotected sex with a new partner, he gave me trichomoniasis, should i be tested
7 million people have the infection, but only about 30% develop any symptoms of trichomoniasis. Infection is more common in women than in men, and older women are more likely than younger women to have been infected.
It is now 5 days taking benadryl and the hives and itching have not stopped. What is in the clindamycin that I may be allergic to?
Persons being treated for trichomoniasis should avoid sex until they and their sex partners complete treatment and have no symptoms. Metronidazole can be used by pregnant women.
Having trichomoniasis once does not protect a person from getting it again. Following successful treatment, people can still be susceptible to re-infection."
