Suggest Treatment For Trichomonas Infection
Question: I recently started a new relationship and I came down with a yeast infection immediately, which it cleared up now. But doc said I have trigamoses. I noticed when I had oral sex with this partner I felt a stringy substance come out. He did not ejaculate into my mouth but I noticed it when I began to have oral sex on him. Is that std like a worm or something
Brief Answer:
Information
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I'm thinking that trigamoses may be Trichomonas. That is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a protozoan. It's treated with an antibiotic. Women are more likely to have symptoms from Trichomonas infections whereas men can have it without knowing it. But they can also produce a discharge that is made of mucus and white blood cells. That might have been what you noticed come out. It is not a worm. It would be unlikely for him to have a parasitic worm if he lives in the US and has not traveled to any exotic places.
If you have Trichomonas, both you and your partner should be treated. It's possible he had it without realizing it. If he is not treated, he can spread it to you again.
Hope I have answered your query.
