I was recently treated for uti but the medicine the Dr gave me wasnt effective so they changed it. My symptoms are a yellow discharge with a foul odor, a burning sensation when I urinate and my vagina felt swollen. Could it possibly an std...gonnorhea?
Hi, thanks for your question.I'm glad to help with your concerns. Yellow, foul-smelling discharge associated with pain on urinating most likely indicate trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted disease caused by a parasite. However, yellow discharge also suggests gonorrhea. What I would advise you do first is to visit your primary care doctor. Your doctor would send you for a laboratory investigation which involves taking a swab of the vaginal discharge, and running a culture and microscopy test on it. The result of this investigation would determine which type of STD it is and the appropriate antibiotics to be prescribed. It is only after a vaginal swab is taken that you can safely be given empirical antibiotics such as intramuscular ceftriaxone and metronidazole tablets pending when results come out. I hope I have answered your question.I'd is glad to answer more questions if you've got anymore. Warm regards.
