Monilia is treated with an anti-fungal medication. This may be in the form of vaginal suppositories, creams or tablets and should always be used as prescribed. Trich is considered a sexually transmitted disease, but it may also be passed from person to person on washcloths, towels or bathing suits. Trich is not as common as monilia, but the symptoms are just as annoying. Symptoms include a greenish-yellow discharge accompanied by an unpleasant odor and sometimes itching.
Men usually have no symptoms.
Treatment Treatment for trich is usually a tablet called Metronidazole or Flagyl taken orally. Both sexual partners should be treated simultaneously. To prevent re-infection, a condom should be used during sexual intercourse until treatment is complete. Re-examination after treatment is essential. Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include a heavy, vaginal discharge having an unpleasant odor.
