It could be both a std, “ordinary” infection but it could also be yeast infection. Yeast infection is not spread by sex nor is “the ordinary” infection. All of the infections are treated with antibiotics both std and urinary tract infection. Sometimes is even easier to clear std than urinary infection because infection of urinary tract with e.coli can be really annoying, persistent and chronic. Most of the std’s are cured with a one antibiotic round.
Yeast infection is treated with antifungal drugs you can get otc.
It would be best to wait for the results from your gyn. |

| What you described sounds like a bacterial infection. Normal, healthy vaginas have good bacteria that keep them clean. A clean, healthy vagina will have no bad odor. There is also bad bacteria found in the vagina, but that is normal too. Sometimes the bad bacteria will take over and create an infection. It will smell foul. The usual treatment is oral or vaginal antibiotics. The thing about antibiotics is that the more you take them, the more infections you become susceptible to, and they also cause other problems too. I've heard of alternative treatments, you could probably do a web search on alternative treatments for vaginal bacterial infections. Be careful though, not everything you read is going to be sound advice. |
