Thank you for your question. Usually, the diagnosis of Trich or BV will be tested by your physician. As the previous post, I am unsure why you were treated with trich without any testing first.
Signs and symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?
a strong fishy smell, especially after sex
white or grey discharge
watery or foamy discharge
Some cases are so mild that women don't know they have it.
Signs and symptoms of trichomoniasis
While trichomoniasis affects both women and men, symptoms are more common in women. Most men with trichomoniasis do not have any signs or symptoms. However, some men may have a temporary irritation inside the penis, mild discharge, or notice a slight burning after peeing (urinating) or ejaculating. Some women may have signs or symptoms which include:
discharge that is green, yellow or grey
a bad smell
itching in or around the vagina
pain during sex
pain when peeing (urinating).
As you can see, there are slight differences between the two although testing by your physician would be the only way you can be sure as they are two different bacterias. Since you have taken the medication, are you experiencing any more signs that there are problems?
