Also known as haemophilus. In females this infection causes an abnormal, foul-smelling, greyish vaginal discharge and sometimes redness or itching of the vulva. Males may harbour the germs that cause this infection in their bodies, but they are usually asymptomatic. If untreated, gardnerella may cause infertility problems. But these problems usually clear up once the infection is treated, so gardnerella is generally considered less serious than some of the other STDs. Treatment is by means of oral medications.
Trichomoniasis-Also called trich and TV, the chief symptom in females is an abnormal, foul-smelling, greenish-yellow discharge which tends to be frothy and may cause redness or itching of the vulva. Males nay harbour the germs in their bodies, but they are usually asymptomatic. Treatment is by means of oral medication. Though bothersome, trich doesn’t lead to major medical problems and therefore isn’t considered as serious as some other STDs.
