does anybody know what this discharge could be …im convinced its trich.. but any opinions could help right now
can anyone help
it looks like it
Hi jasmine,
It’s almost impossible to make a diagnosis based on the appearance of the vaginal discharge alone. It would help if you could provide more details about when you last had sex, with whom (regular or casual), was it with barrier contraception, and if you have any additional symptoms (below) etc?
- Itchy + vulval/vaginal rawness + curdled white discharge = thrush
- Smelly + thin, gray or off-white discharge = bacterial vaginosis
- Smelly + itchy + vulval/vaginal rawness + yellow/green discharge = trichomonas
Only the last condition is an STD.
Rgds,
Adhari
i susspect its trich because after i sex with someone i started itching and burning and it smeels like mold a little ..
or dirty water
If you’re worried about trich, which is an STD, you’ll need to see a doctor for a prescription. You can’t clear TV just by vigorous washing.
does it sound like it could be ?
There’s no easy way of knowing without getting tested.
Thrush is more common than TV, but both can cause itching. So if you can’t see a doctor, you could simply buy Canesten from a drugstore and self-medicate for thrush. If the symptoms clear quickly and completely, then it was probably just thrush; but if it was TV the symptoms are likely to persist.
Ideally, you should see a doctor and get some tests done.
