I am at a loss and confused about this whole Trichomoniasis stuff to. I mean my wife and I been together 33 years and we are in our 50's now and don't spend enough time apart for either one of us to cheat on one another nor do either one of us have the desire to. My wife started having abdominal pain the other day and from what she told me the pain shot down to her vagina and rear-end. So she went to the DR. and made me go with her. I figured she may have a cyst on her ovary since she had some many years ago. But the Dr. said she had Trichomoniasis and we was shocked to hear it was transmitted through sexual contact.
The only thing that has changed in our lives is I have been on disability for many years and really not able to have much intercourse. This last April though I had some surgery and been getting my health back so intercourse has been happening more (between just us) and now this. The Dr. said it could be somthing else that she had (don't recall the name he said) and it was not caused by sex. He never did say anything to me about taking meds for it. I would have thought he would have put me on some meds to get rid of this stuff if the wife has it ? Anyway like I say we both know each other pretty good and never apart unless she is at work so neither one of us have had sex with anyone else. I guess if the Virgin Mary got pregnant then we can have Trichomoniasis lol The Dr. did say he was going to run more lab test so who knows what he will find. The wife is being treated with two different antibiotics that will treat Trichomoniasis and what ever else he said it could be. Being an older married couple we kind of laughed it off because we know better of each other and any extra time we have is spent with our adult kids and grand kids so just no time for fooling around :) But we still would like to know more about this stuff and how it is tested and what are the chances of misdiagnoses.
