Hi, My wife recently had slight itching in the vagina and consulted a gynacologist. She said its an infection and prescribed doxycycline tabs for a week. Also a pap smear test of the cervix was done. Pap smear result showed severe infection. The result also showed organism trichonomas vaginialisis as present. Is this a STI? Gynaecologist just said its a normal infections and said to continue with doxycycline and she also said that infections has considerably reduced. My question are as follows: Is trichonomas vaginialis a STI? If so, why didnt the doctor did not mention anything about that and say its only a normal bacterial infection Do I also have to take doxicycline medicine since I sometimes have general small uncomfortable feeling around the genital area though no itching or other symptoms. I had used previous antifungal ointment which gives some relief.
