Tricky trichomonas [Reader Responses]

Alice,

The question from "Scared in The South" really eased my mind. I, too, have had what I thought to be frequent yeast infections. I had pap smears and was treated for "infections," but the doctor never cultured anything. In the last few days, I started having a very thick smelly greenish yellow discharge and burning urination, and vaginal itching. I have been in a monogamous relationship for 5 years and married for 2. When i found out i had trich, i was ready to throttle my husband. I did some research and found out that it could be years before some were diagnosed. My husband was married previously and his wife cheated A LOT. It is most likely that she gave it to him and he gave it to me. Now we are both being treated. Hopefully there will be no more "frequent yeast infections."
